Brake Flaring Tool
It seems that in the world of brake flaring tools, you have 2 options:
Cheap, useless junk Expensive tool that works...but you'll likely use it 1 - 2 times in your lifespan if you don't work as a mechanic. I am not a mechanic. I went to my local McParts and was informed they have a 15$ tool and a (supposedly) better 35$ tool. Fearful or both but not having options, I took the 35$ tool. I found no visible difference between it and the even cheaper model. Working carefully and even using vise grips to tighten the large wingnuts ("push through" is a major problem with these) I set about fabricating new brake lines for 69 GTO with aftermarket 4-wheel disc brakes and adj. proportion valve. A full 50% of the flares leak, one is pouring. So, before plunking down nearly 200$ for the good tool, I was wondering if anyone in south-central PA (York area) or central MD (Baltimore) might have one to borrow or rent? You can PM me if you like. -J

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
