flaring steel hyd lines

[mikim]

I busted the lines going to the power steering cylinder - stump popped up and got 'em - cost me $40 for a pro to repair the lines and they fit perfect when I put 'em back on - and he did a whole lot nicer job than I coulda done with any amount of tools - just a thought - sometimes quicker and slicker to just have a pro do it.

Just for reference, there is a hydraulic hand operated tool that comes with the adapters to do 3/16 to 1/2" double flares and 1/4 to 3/8 push-connect flares for A/C lines. Anyone with no practice can make flares as good as factory.

The tool is not cheap. Costs around $350. Master Power Brakes sells them. Their number is (704) 664-8866.
