I believe I have a flare tool. Haven’t seen it in a while, but maybe I should dig for it. If I can’t find it there’s a HF double flaring too for around $20 that might be worth looking into.
I would rather hack the end of the tubing off and put a fitting on than try heat or replace the whole line. Hmm.
