When it was "go time" to flare the end of my line I decided to just get to work and do it quickly underneath the fender. It wasn't so bad working underneath the fender but in my hurry I cracked the second flaring of the tube end. How? Well I forgot to file down the O.D. of the tubing end and I was basically in a hurry to get it done. I was a fool for not removing the line completely. All I had to do was remove the upper line from the master cylinder to take the line completely out and do the tube flaring on the workbench. Oh we gotta live and learn!

So basically take your time. Remove the tubing from your project and just think things through while you are working. Good luck and make sure to practice once or twice before working on the important one.
