Never seen before Brakeline Flaring Hack! How to repair leaking fitting.

Today i had a brakeline leaking that i just made. This old trick is really handy. You will need a cordless drill and some valve grinding compound for this trick. Hope u like the video. Thanks for watching.

Been running a garage for 27 years and have never had this issue. Getting a better tool would certainly be a start

Never seen before, , , , dont ever want to see it again.

So many on here have commented that you don't know what you're doing and how good they are instead of saying- good job figuring out how to fix the problem you have using what you have INSTEAD of buying another tool. I have a brand new tool with the fancy case and it does this on steel tubing also. I just use a small file. Glad you found a good solution, I'll have to try it.

Not necessary. The ridge on the actual flared area will go away when you tighten the nut down. The nut and inverted flare inside the fitting will finish forming the line flare to the proper shape. Done

[frankjones]

The face of the flare is what seals against the fitting it's threaded into.

My advice would be throw the flaring tool away and buy a new one that doesnt leave marks on the pipe.

Thnx for sharing Sir!! It is always Nice to see some new cool tricks. I am a 31 yrs Chrysler Tech and still working . That Imperfection area what you have shown not really can cause any issue because when you start to tighten the nut, the pressure of the nut will force the opening of the flare to seat against the other side of the line fitting automatically or you may call it 'self compressed sealing'. Unless the flare was made way out of shape. Otherwise not too worry. But it is nice to see something new that I have never seen to smooth out the flare and the line with its nut. Thanks again sir!

This makes me feel better since you said it’s not flare. I was trippin out and remaking the flares just to find out that they still leaked 😆 ima try this out and I hopefully it fixes the leaks, thanks for sharing!

[jimsix]

great tip, I have a very good flaring tool but I have got leakers before, I think it would be a good practice on every job, that one leak out of a thousand will cost a lot in time and headaches

[poellot]

I needed to make an iso flair, i decided to buy the good vice mount flair tool. I think it is an eastwood. Worked perfectly. Pretty expensive but it was worth it just for one vehicle making all new lines vs taking it to a shop or trying to order premade oem lines.

Awesome, I did the lines on my antique truck and couldn't find out why it was leaking, now I see the problem I have!! THANK you sir!!!

[seanbrechin]

Awesome tip... Four times today, I got nothing but leaks. Tried this without compound and it seems to have worked just fine fifth time round.

[anthonynapier]

Good tip on seating flare fitting s man, ,,,I can definitely use that 👍 👍 👍 👍

[rchydrozz]

I have always been a believer in lapping two parts together to make them fit better.

[tylerhaldeman]

Thank you so much just spent the entire weekend without the result I needed this might’ve solved my problem

[rickconstant]

What this video tells me is that he doesn't understand how a flared joint works. The tubing material is softer than the nut, so will simply deform and flatten into the required shape when the nut is tightened, forming the seal. Why anyone would want to add unnecessary steps to the process, and risk introducing grinding paste into a braking system, I don't know.

[TheGforcead]

You can clean it up with a small flat file it don't make a mess.

[rafaelmoreno]

awesome idea. funny i came across this video as i am just messing around with one of the left over brake line tubing from a job i did a while ago. thanks for the great idea. i hate that serrated line on this tools. is nice to know how to fix it

[briankinnear]

Great tip. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and stay well.

[kimber]
