4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure you are familiar with the various types of are before using this equipment.
WARNING! Before using the aring kit, ensure that you have read and understood the ‘Safety
Instructions’ in Section 1.
4.1. PREPARATION OF THE BRAKE PIPE
4.1.1. The end of the pipe must be cut square.
4.1.2. The outside edge of the pipe must be chamfered to approximately 0.25mm x 45º.
IMPORTANT: If the pipe is plastic covered, this must be cut back for 6mm from the end of the pipe to
be ared. Ensure the pipe is not scored or any metal removed during this operation. DO NOT use an
abrasive cloth.
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 aring.
4.2. CREATION OF 3/16” SAE SINGLE FLARE
4.2.1. Use the SAE tool, stop and double ended punch as shown in fig.1.
4.2.2. The stop must be screwed into the tool to within 5mm of the hexagon.
4.2.3. Slide the tool onto pipe.
4.2.4. Tighten the locking screws by hand, just enough to grip the pipe.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT over tighten at this stage or the stop will damage the pipe.
4.2.5. Screw the stop into the tool until fully tightened. (A 16mm ratchet spanner is recommended, but not included.)
4.2.6. Tighten the locking screws fully to clamp the pipe. (A 10mm ratchet spanner is recommended, but not included.)
IMPORTANT: If the locking screws are not tight enough then the pipe will push back during the flare process and will not
produce the correct flare.
