Part of my tub replacement project is to get all new brakelines run. I'm done with that, save the rear axle. I'm REALLY struggling trying to double flare the pre-bent stainless lines I bought. Here is the deal...I bought the kit from inline tubes. It's pretty good, but not perfect...the non-abs set is for drums, not discs. So, when I talked with support, they said I'd have to cut and re-flare the lines to make it fit my discs. They assured me that they anneal their tubing, so you CAN form the double flare. So, that's where I'm at. I have an OEM tools brake flaring kit from autozone (probably garbage) and I cannot get the bubble flare to form. It seems that the tube keeps pushing through the clamp. Got frustrated, and had to walk away for the night. I'm ready to plunk down some money on a decent double flare kit...if anyone knows of one? Ridgid? Mastercool? I don't want to spend 4-5 hundred bucks on anything, but if its 100? Sure. Bonus point to someone who knows where I might be able to buy one in a store on a Saturday, vs ordering online.
Also, Wanted to verify I have the soft lines to the calipers correct...They arch up WAY over the bleed ports in the calipers...so I'm second guessing my arrangement, even though that is how they came off and its what a google image search tells me. I'll page the brake expert... @mrblaine. Won't this arrangement trap air?
