I tried that once and
had trouble putting the double flare on it. I paid a lot of money for that
flaring tool but couldn't make a good flare. So I ended up buying new and now it
sits in my tool box so people can say, boy, you have some nice tools.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] steel brake line
trick
If you want to replace your front brake hoses but one or both
of the ends in
the line(s) is/are stripped, you can often get away with
cutting through the
end with a cutting wheel or hacksaw (as close to the
end as possible), then
slipping a new end on and re-flaring the tube, and
re-attaching it. Much
easier than replacing the whole steel line. For best
results try to cut off
as little of the original steel line as possible. Of
course you have to be
planning on replacing the hose as well.
Just a
little tip that I picked up over the weekend.
