Sorry to hear those didn't work for you, Jerry. Were they AGS brand? I can't promise it today, but the last ones I bought were made in the USA and they went on just like magic. There was only one line which was a bit too long and I added a little more arch to the point where it wrapped over to the junction for the front left flex line. The long line (from the passenger side connector piece...by the battery) was originally a split line and it was simple to move the connector to where 2 pieces fit just at the right length. When I looked at their website the other day it looked like they had a nice range of lengths (4", 6", 8" all the way up to several feet in 2 inch increments) made in either flare, bubble end or inverted in either SAE or Metric that you could order directly from them. I tell you in my opinion it was one heck of a lot better than trying to use a cheap double flare tool (which we know isn't worth a spoon of beans) or buying a good one ($$$).
