I only really found one post and it just identifies where it was and that one other guy had carefully disassembled the fuel pump and...

    front brake help

    I've tried cracking each banjo open, and tapping everywhere. I'm not sure if the brakes feel much doffremt from before because I didn't pay attention before I started and now that I put on the new lines I'm thinking about it more. I'm going to get some more fluid and keep bleeding tonight.
