Hard Brake Lines - Double Flare Issues

[race-rodz-inc]

absolutely under no circumstances should you ever use a tubing cutter on any kind of brake line. as the cutter is doing its job it also work hardens the material. i used to use it all the time, and when doing double flares with a hydralic bender, you would have to make sure to not over do the second part... or risk splitting the tube. then one day at an old timmers shop i watched him making brake lines, cutting with cut off wheel. after asking him why he did it that way, he explained it to me... and it made sence. have done it his way from then on and never had a problem $.02
