Brake Flaring

Anybody know who flares brake lines in the Houston area?

Working on my project car and Im having hell getting these things not to leak.

Southside, Northside, East or West, I dont care.

Thanx.

I did my own flaring with the tool from the auto parts place. Its not that hard just make sure your using the correct size.

might want to make sure the flaring tool is a 37 degree and not a 45. My experience with the latter is they leak pretty easily. Then I got the correct flaring tool and hasnt leaked a drop since. hope this helps

I had an issue and it turned out I did not have enough tubing sticking out of the tool that holds the line. If you could find a double flair too that would be better.
