[FC] brake lines

[Western Canada CORSA]

Tim,

I've got the steps reversed from you, button first, then the cone.

I'm working from memory.  Can anybody resolve this?  Are you 100% sure on
that Tim?

Regards,
Joel

the critical part of a double flare is how much line is left above the
holding block. this is determined by the edge of the little round double
flare
adapter. the line HAS to be exactly the hieght of the first step of the
button when
layed beside the line sticking up thru the adapter.the end also has to be
nice and square. then put a gentle first flare using the pointed tool. then
put
the button in the hole and collapse the flare into itself with the pointed
tool
on top of the button. do it slowly so it stays even and does not crack.  it
takes practice but it works well.   dont give up.
regards, tim colson
