A FEW BASIC TIPS
1) Always turn the nut in a few turns by hand, to be sure its running "true" before tighting with a spanner, otherwise you risk stripping the threads
2) Its better to nip the nut up a little, then back it off half a turn, and stop and check your flare. If all looks good then you can nip it up, and then a final tighten to the correct torque.
3) After bleeding the brakes - have a friend putting steady pressure on the pedal, Visually check for any leaks, and be sure it gets rock hard and stops, if it feels like putting your foot on a sponge (slowly creeping to the floor) - there is a problem! Fix it!
