I practiced doing several and thought they looked pretty good but decided not to "chance them".
Unless you have one of those nice hydralic flare tools its fairly hard for me to do one that I trust using the "mechanical" ones. I know several here have mentioned sucessfully doing them but not me!
You could try tighten the pee out of them but it may make things worst and then you probably would never trust them.
I ended up buying new lines of different lengths and worked it out to where I didn't have to do any flaring.
That said I have a friend in the car club that has the nice hydralic one. I bought rolls of line for my gas and tranny lines and he came by and flared all of them in about an hour. The hydralic ones are pricey so I'd ask around. Maybe someone would do you a favor for a couple dollars..... just don't play roulette with your brake job.
Good luck. | | |
