- This TTT we talk about how to double flare a brake line. A lot of people are intimidated by making a double flare but it is actually pretty easy. I think with the help of this video everyone can find success making double flares. Below is a list of tools I use to easily make double flares.

The best video for a double flare on TH-cam.I watched over 30 .They don't show you the part about measuring the tube with the side of the adapter. Most showed me to make it the whole length of it, and the filing part is better.I tried 10 times got 1 good flare and broke my crappy Pittsburg tool adapter.
Thanks glad I could help!
The new "in-car" double flare tools are a game changer (Capri). Smaller tool, self centering die insert, & perfect flares everytime.
I'm glad to know there is an easier tubing now available for making brake lines. This stuff may have been on the market for a long time, but I just didn't know it. It use to be if you looked and seen a copper brake line on a vehicle, you knew that it had been Jerry Rigged in other places.
When making steel lines , I would usually heat the end with a flame to help aneal it between crimps. Always had problems with it splitting the flare without a little heat.
if I had a dollar for every time I forgot to put the nut on first......
LOL
excellent video ....
Thanks for the video I've just had my dad's car fail the m.o.t the bra K line burst whilst on the test in england . I was really confused with the double flare but you're a legend i now understand thank you so much you have a new subscriber from Oxford England.
Glad I could help!
Pretty good video sir. I never even heard of a double flare before. Ive never replaced any brake lines either. I learned how to do flares when i went to community college. I was doing flares on soft copper,im sure its a little different with this material. Thank you.
I look at double flare as making a "crush washer" fitting to seal better
Great job man
Thanks for the great job very simple and easy appreciations 🇩🇰🤣👌👍
Tqvm....

Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
hey that was informative! just what I needed! but you mispelled watching at the end
And that is why you will find me in the shop most of the time. LOL
Just redid the lines on my car without a file or deburring tool. It's definitely *possible* to deburr with a knife like I did but uh...this way looks easier
I bought some copper nickel (so they say) 1/4" tubing off of Ebay. How can I be sure it is Nicopp tubing?
I have problems getting the line to stay where I put it in the tool itl slides back & I tightened the bejesus out of it ( steel) line I now use copper nickel line easier to use not easy to do & I pay attention !!
👍👍
What if you have to flare the line while it's on the vehicle? such as the line running down from the master cylinder that doesn't need replaced. I guess I would have to remove it from the vehicle to flare it?
No you can take the tools to the car. I put it in the vise so it would be easier to video.
How you supposed to do this underneath the car.

Its not an anvil, it's called a die.
WTH hell is a single flare for anyway? never used one
lol low-pressure lines
Literally the worst how to video I have ever seen. 😂
Damn, where’s your video?
