I have not used my brakes yet but there was something recommended in Sport Aviation years ago that I incorporated. I have a small piece of brass tubing inside the nlyaflow (nice spelling) where the ferrule clamps down on the tubing. It keeps the nylaflow from collapsing but lets the brake fluid go through. I used a piece of the tubing from a ball point pen after all of the ink was cleaned out. It was a perfect size.
