Really, this video was much easier to understand than the other videos on KZbin. I have been following the other video guides and have not been able to get a single flare to come out right after about 15 tries. It looks like the size of the chamfer I was making was too small and I was leaving a little bit too much line protruding from the holder. Thanks!

I cant believe Ive gone so many yaers not doing this exactly right... Today I am replacing a line on a Sunfire and after tightening the nut the line was loose in the fitting... Im doing this on the car so its a bit harder than having the vice handy... but I have never filed the end of the line as much as I guess I should have been and I think that has made this harder than it has even needed to be...

On a side note for people it is good practice to deburr your brake line while holding it upside down that way you can minimize the chance of any metal shavings being left behind inside your brake line which could in return damage the rubber seal in your brake calliper

I would give you an Emmy for how well you did and filmed this video! Note: hard to find just anvil when you already have flaring kit. To the best of my knowledge you can't generally buy just the anvil, so you can get a discount set and use with your good flaring tool set or ask a local mechanic to borrow the part if you are only going to do it once. Some auto parts stores will loan yo the tool also.

I was going to ask if this could be done on-the-vehicle, to replace, say, a rusted section, but I predict your answer would be: It depends--on whether there is a suitably long straight section in an area with room enough to be confident that flares can be made well. What would help would be smaller tools to facilitate the chamfering and flaring in a tight space. I'm thinking of a one-size flaring tool and a "cone maker" file or hone that slips over the tubing end to file the chamfer.
