No, where the line comes out of the fuel pump.. it's the only flare i did and the only leak :) I did a single flare, doing a double and fixing that once it's not cold out again.. then i will add water and pray those head gaskets don't leak.. been reading bad **** bout them.. not a big job but a pain to setup the sideplay in the rockers in the car compared to on a stand... if i have to

Single flare on copper only. Double on steel line.tighten/loosen a couple times to seat it. Anti-sieze between nut and tube will help you in the future

Its on 95 s-10 chassis, 2.2 4cyl, ps/pb/ac and cruise. It will weigh about the same as the s10. Im fine with low performance.

Essentially, the height difference between the heel and the ball of the foot is zero.

It rotates your pelvis to a more neutral position and aligns your knees and ankles.

Usually accompanied by a wider toe box so things like turf-toe and bunions are less impacted.

We do think alike, as I look down at my no heel flat shoe with wide toe box!

I bought a hydraulic flaring tool. Makes three types. Made all lines on my 5th wheel. Converted from electric brakes to hydraulic disk. Works great. And it was not real expensive

yup.. trying to avoid buying a $100+ tool for 1 flare.. which between the cheap tool and wasted tubing would put me over 200... will figure it out :)

Naw.. if i can't get it with the current tool i will buy a good one.. i'm just cheap :) Never flared **** before so it's a learning thing... i don't know why i'm being so picky bout a line.. when i was 25 i woulda ran some rubber and said **** it.. now i'm all "Ohhh i want as little rubber as possible.... fire bad...." i'm weak..
