I am replacing all hard brake lines with Cunifer metal lines and new brake line nuts. I bought a Craftsman double flaring tool, with the understanding that I only need to complete the single flare. However, as shown below, I am not sure the flare (the copper colored flared end) is appropriate. Any suggestions?

Thanks for that link. I just finished mocking up my lines on the motorcycle and have been pondering buying the Strap On tool but this one looks like it might e a better piece. I have had one of the cheapo isle tools for several years and absolutely HATE it. As for your flares, a double flare will not usualy seal properly where a bubble flare should be. I have had it work but it is not a good idea.
Also make certain to use a small pipe cutter to cut your line. If the end is not perfectly square you will not get a flare worth a damn. |
