Also are you supposed to ream the brake line before you double flair it? Or cut it and start flaring. It seems like the 5/16 fits but not after I ream it. There's alot of slop in it.

Thanks

My bad I meant 3/16.

I'm doing the rear brake lines. I bought some SS ones from classic tube. They sent me the wrong fittings going into the softline.
