Great vid, thanks for posting. I just tonight bought a Craftsman flaring kit, Rigid cutter with reamer, and a bender of some make (I skimped there but a friend uses that one). I plan to use poly armour tubing to replace the entire fuel line on my 1972 Chevy truck. I am very excited as I have never done anything like this before. :-)
Good video! If you only need to use the tool once, save $25 and rent it from somewhere like Autozone as I ended up doing. Instructions were gone, but this video was straight forward enough for me to make two flares on a transmission line.
Is that a craftsman tool? I just bought one feom pep boys but the yoke was drilled and threaded crooked so its just garbage and is going back to the store. But I looked up the crafstmab one and it look like yours.
Same here. I do it exactly like this and the flares look like garbage. Sometimes barely a flare, or none as it must jst pushed the tube through. Or theyre a bit sideways.
This is the shittiest kit I have every used ever! I have been in tech school for 3 semesters and not once did a tool/kit make me so pissed due to the fucking simplicity of it not working
Thanks dude. The manual didn't mention that last 1/2 turn with the flaring cone.
Thank God for You Tube mechanics

Thanks. That’s a whole lot better than what I was trying to do. Thanks
Wow you made that way way easier then my shop manual did. Thanks
You should always de-burr the tubing both before and after making the flair. Also don't forget to put the nut on before flaring.
Thanks man
Thanks

never use a screwdriver to over tighten it's not braun over brain...
Then how do you keep the flaring tool from pushing the tube through the serrated hole?

Like anything, it takes practice.
