Bubble Flaring Tool Kit
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: It is important to prepare the end of the tubing before flaring as described
in step 1. Failure to do so will ensure unsatisfactory results.
1. Cut the end of tubing off squarely with a tubing cutter. Do NOT attempt to flare tubing that has
been cut with a hacksaw or other device that is not specifically designed for cutting brake tubing.
See figure a.
2. Use a reamer, round file or pocket knife blade to deburr the inside diameter of the tubing. See
figure b. Round off (chamfer) the edge of the outside diameter of the tubing using a small file.
See figure c.
3. If there will not be an opportunity to install a flare nut (if used) from the other end of the tubing at
a later time, slip the required flare nut over the prepared end of the tubing and position it out of
the way.
4. Insert the tubing through the hole in the flaring bar that matches the diameter of the tubing.
Position the tubing so that the end is level with the surface of the flaring bar as shown and
tighten wing nuts. See figure d.
5. Select the correct size flaring adapter and thread securely onto the threaded nut on the steel
flaring yoke as shown. The nipple of the flaring adapter should fit into the inner diameter of the
tubing to be flared. See figure e.
