yep the second flair is the cone shape bit on your tool and folds the front half of your first flair back to make it like a funnel.
i find the best thing to do is cut the end off all your metal pipes leaving the end with its nut etc. in the parts you take off your doner then you know the tread,length and type of swage you need when you make all your pipes up.
