-
Swing compression disc over gauge and center tapered flaring screw in recess of disc. Screw in until plug gauge has seated on jaws of flaring
tool. This action has started to invert the extended end of the tubing.
-
Remove gauge and continue to screw down until tool is firmly seated in tubing. Remove tubing from flaring tool and inspect seat. Refer to tube
routing diagrams for proper brake tube routing and clip locations. Replace any damaged tube routing clips.
ISO TUBING FLARES
CAUTION: All ISO style tubing flares are of metric dimensions. When performing any service procedures on vehicles using ISO style tubing
flares, metric size tubing of 4.75 mm MUST be used with metric ISO tube flaring equipment.
To create a (metric) ISO style tubing flare, Use Snap-On Flaring Tool TFM-428, or equivalent. See above image and proceed with the steps listed
below. Be sure to place the tubing nut on the tube before flaring the tubing.
1. Carefully prepare the end of the tubing to be flared. Be sure the end of the tubing to be flared is square and all burrs on the inside of the tubing
are removed. This preparation is essential to obtain the correct form of a (metric) ISO tubing flare.
2. Open jaws of the Flaring Tool. Align the mating size jaws of the flaring tool around the size of the tubing to be flared. Close the jaws of the
Flaring Tool around the tubing to keep it from sliding out of the flaring tool, but do not lock the tubing in place.
3. Position the tubing in the jaws of the Flaring Tool so that it is flush with the top surface of the flaring tool bar assembly.
4. Install the correct size adaptor for the brake tubing being flared, on the feed screw of the yoke assembly. Center the yoke and adapter over the
end of the tubing. Apply lubricant to the adapter area that contacts brake tubing. Making sure the adapter pilot is fully inserted in the end of the
brake tubing. Screw in the feed screw of the yoke assembly until the adaptor has seated squarely on the surface of the bar assembly. This
process has created the (metric) ISO tubing flare.
