Re: Tips on double flaring brake lines?

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Out of convenience (Sears was within walking distance
of my home at the time.) I bought the Craftsman
flaring tool set.  It does a good job.  The only tip I
can offer is to make sure the tubing is securely
clamped and is at the proper height above the clamp
surface.  If the tubing slips through the clamp at all
the quality of the flare will suffer.
