There is a tool for metric brake lines and a tool for SAE sized lines. The lines on the car are metric. A few years ago I couldn't figure out why flaring lines was so hard to do and why the tool wouldn't hold the line (it would push through). Then I found out there is two different tools! Having the right one makes all the difference.

I thought the sjm kit came ready to install. Sorry I couldnt help, but I planned on buying an sjm line lock kit and now I'm sorta second guessing.

I had to purchase this brake flair tool from Eastwood http://www.eastwood.com/professional...ring-tool.html with that the flaring was a snap. The rest of the installation was easy however I did pull all the brake lines off the car to flare them to fit. The flare tool provided in the kit would not create a good flare then finally broke is why getting this tool.
