Double Inverted Tubing Flares
To make a double inverted tubing flare, refer to illustration. See Fig 2 and Fig 3 . Open handles of Flaring Tool (Special Tool C-4047) or equivalent. Then rotate jaws of tool until mating jaws of tubing size are centered between vertical posts on tool. Slowly close handles with tubing inserted in jaws but do not apply heavy pressure to handle as this will lock tubing in place. Place gauge (A) on edge over end of brake tubing. Push tubing through jaws until end of tubing contacts recessed notch in gauge matching tubing size. Squeeze handles of flaring tool and lock tubing in place. Place 3/16" plug of gauge (A) down in end of tubing.
Swing compression disc over gauge and center tapered flaring screw in recess of disc. Screw in until plug gauge has seated on jaws of flaring tool. This action has started to invert extended end of tubing. Remove gauge and continue to screw down until tool is firmly seated in tubing. Remove tubing from flaring tool and inspect seat. Refer to illustration for proper brake tube routing and clip locations. See Figure . Replace any damaged tube routing clips.
