Here are some better pics with the sun up I could actually see what I was taking a picture of. My "stainless" hoses look like ****








I bought my tube bending pliers at harbor freight Tube Bending Pliers - they are identical. However the flare tools from Eastwood are amazing.

What did you do to your stainless lines??? Salt bath? Mud bath?

What needs to be done to the solid lines? Just pushed out of the way a bit?

I have no idea why my lines are so screwed up they arent even a year old. And yes they have seen salt, mud and who knows what else but still..

The solid line enters the d90 caliper in the middle instead of the end. You just need to bend it to fit right and then move the rest of the line out of the way.

Isn't the bubble flaring tool just a nipple part to use with the regular flaring tool?

Personally I can't justify the expense though for occasional flaring needs. I've found the OTC 4504 works fine, even if slower, including for a complete brake system re-plumbing.
