Why flare your own lines? You can get a whole new universal brake or fuel lines at any local auto store, it comes in 4 foot sections and shorter. you have to bend it your self which some don't care to do, but I have found it quite easy if you don't try to put all of the bend in one spot, bend it some then move down the line about 1/2" to an 1" and bend some more working back and fourth until you have the amount of bend you need. Just a suggestion. I personally don't care for the "flare your own lines", they leak.

Doesn' leak if you take your time to do a good job... I did mine and it couldn't be better
I tried flaring my own brake lines and it was a disaster. I rented a tool and took what I thought was a good stab at it and didn't' get one usable end.
I buy mine premade and bend them by hand.

Yeah for sure you need a bit of practice and technique, dont expect it to be perfect the first time... Its always easier to buy something made by someone else or even a machine, i just think the hole point of having a jeep is to do everything yourself and learn from it

I agree with flaring is best for pressure. After doing it a few times it gets easy. Main trick is to get the right amount out to flair, and watch the tool tip is centered going in.
Stainless can be a little hard, but it is all in the wrist. ha
Also the bending tool is great to have.
