• WARNING! Before using the flaring kit, ensure that you have read and understood the ‘Safety Instructions’ in Section 1.
  3.1 PREPARATIon oF THE BRAKE PIPE
  3.1.1 The end of the pipe must be cut square.
  3.1.2 The outside edge of the pipe must be chamfered to approximately 0.25mm x 45º.
  3.1.3 Important!
  If the pipe is plastic covered, this must be cut back for 6mm from the end of the pipe to be flared. Ensure the pipe is not scored or any metal removed during this operation. DO NOT use an abrasive cloth.
  3.1.4 Important!
  If the pipe is painted it is recommended that the paint be removed for the length of the die by a chemical paint remover, not an abrasive cloth. observe all manufacturers’ precautions when using chemical paint remover. Finally, remove any grease present. These two operations will improve the die jaw grip whilst flaring.
