I'm fighting these stainless brakelines tooth and nail trying to flair them, and it just won't take a double flair! I call my buddies over and we're all stumped with consperacy theories from aliens to the Taliban. Wasted a length before throwing in the towel at 4am.
This morning I figure I'll head over to the local NAPA and get some 3/16 steel line and be done with it. Then BAM! I remember reading somewhere like years ago, YOU DON'T NEED TO DOUBLE FLAIR STAINLESS LINE!!!!!!! WHAT A DUMBAZZ!!!!! You need to double flair standard steel 3/16 line but not stainless. Man, I wish I thought of this before all that grief. I purchased a brakeline kit from Morrison, great kit with everything I need to do one car, but NO INSTRUCTIONS or a heads up on the stainless line. I never messed with stainless! I could'nt afford that crap before! I didn't even know it was included in the kit, I just thought the kit would save me some time, not cause me to swear like a drunk pirate.
Ok. It's kickin' my butt but cover me....................I'm going back in! :roll:
