I'm really sorry and I'm sure this has been asked before but does anyone recommend a decent cheap brake pipe flaring tool.
The decent looking one I ordered off ebay last year, Silverline make I think, is awful now I've come to use it.
Or do the words decent and cheap not really work when it comes to tools.
I have read many guides and I made sure I....
Cut the pipe square or file it, tried a hacksaw and tube cutter.
Deburr the inside of the pipe
Got clamp nice and tight
Use brake fluid on the die to lubricate it.
Tried varying protruding lengths.
As soon as I start tightening it the die seems to go wonkey instantly, and I end up with an un-even flare. Tool station do one that people have had success with for £10 but it doesn't look alot different to mine.
Perhaps its the user.
its getting me down, thought the brake lines would fly in, like everyone elses.
Thanks Chris
