Always remember to fit the nut (the right way round) before flaring the pipe...

Or my way, (did it twice) flare the second end of the pipe then look down at the nut sitting on the bench in front of me

Yeah I've been watching different bending and flaring videos and they all remind you about the fittings yet some still forget. That flaring tool seems to be made in Taiwan and sold here in the US under Titan Tools and Eastwood Automotive labels. Seems to be the best design for a dedicated 3/16 in on the vehicle flaring tool.

Just want to confirm that the double flare is the only type of flare needed for this repair. No bubble flares needed for the line to flex hose connections? |

Excellent! OK off to Land Rover to get the spring clips and then off to my mechanic. |

Now if your talking about the spring clips on the front pipes between the pipe and flexi you may struggle.

The black pipe clips in pic below I re-used then formed the pipes and pressed them into the recess, didn't use the clips as a forming aid felt they would break if I did.

Thanks guys. My dealer has ordered them for me at $9.50 each. I think I am going to cancel that order. They look the same as BMW clips for $.97 each. Thanks for the picture to confirm that. |
