heres a funny story about flaring tools. we have the one from napa...my gf blows a trans cooler line and needs a new one. went to the zone and theyre like "thats a special order part, napa should be able to get it"...go to napa, guy says" is it the high pressure line...we cant get that, go to pontiac". go to pontiac, guy says" ok we can get it...85 bucks" pay 85 . pick it up the next day..ITS 25 FEET of stainless 1/4" tubing.

so i get my money back, go to napa, and the guy says "they sold you WHAT?!?! you cant just BUILD a high pressure line. JESUS CHRIST ITLL BLOW MAN!" go back to the zone, they have tubing with one side already flared and has a pressure fitting...$5.00....made my own line and its held ever since. build my own brake lines too....

sorry for the long post. its just that when i tell the guys at the part sroe this, they think im insane for attempting it. what do they think the factory uses, magic flared tubing???

HOLY CRAP THIS IS LONG. sorry guys
