I'm replacing a couple brake lines on my '95 V6, and boy am I having a time. I'm trying to do this strange bubble flare that's on the ABS end and also that goes into the fitting that connects to the line heading to the rear.
I have the Eastwood vise mounted flare tool, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get the same flare. The ones I do are just a bit more round, whereas the flare on the factory line is very wide and flat - I've attached an image.
Does anyone know what this flare is and what it takes to make it? Perhaps the bubble flares I am making on the Eastwood would seal anyway, even if they're not exactly the same? I can attach a picture of one of those if it would be helpful.
Thank you!!
