DOUBLE INVERTED TUBING FLARES
To make a double inverted tubing flare (Fig. 39)
and (Fig. 40). Open handles of Flaring Tool, Special
Tool C-4047 or equivalent. Then rotate jaws of tool
until the mating jaws of tubing size are centered
between vertical posts on tool. Slowly close handles
with tubing inserted in jaws but do not apply heavy
pressure to handle as this will lock tubing in place.
Place gauge (Form A) on edge over end of brake
tubing. Push tubing through jaws until end of tubing
contacts the recessed notch in gauge matching the
tubing size. Squeeze handles of flaring tool and lock
tubing in place. Place 3/16 inch plug of gauge (A)
down in end of tubing. 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 con-
tinue to screw down until tool is firmly seated in tub-
ing. 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 (Fig. 39) and
(Fig. 40) 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
(Fig. 41) 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 (Fig. 38). This preparation is essential to
