Double Inverted Flaring
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Jeep Wrangler and 2015 Jeep Wrangler. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A preformed metal brake tube is recommended and preferred for all repairs. However, double-wall steel tube can be used for emergency repair when factory replacement parts are not readily available.
- Cut off damaged tube with Tubing Cutter.
- Ream cut edges of tubing to ensure proper flare.
- Install replacement tube nut on the tube.
- Insert tube in flaring tool.
- Place gauge form over the end of the tube.
- Push tubing through flaring tool jaws until tube contacts recessed notch in gauge that matches tube diameter.
- Tighten the tool bar on the tube
- Insert plug on gauge in the tube. Then swing compression disc over gauge and center tapered flaring screw in recess of compression disc.
- Tighten tool handle until plug gauge is squarely seated on jaws of flaring tool. This will start the inverted flare.
- Remove the plug gauge and complete the inverted flare.
