• Q: How to replace the brake line using the J 29803-A ISO Flaring Kit on 2002 Chevrolet Prizm?

  A: You must select J 29803-A ISO Flaring Kit (J 29803-A) to change the brake pipe and only use double-walled steel brake pipe to avoid brake system failure. Start by acquiring the proper tubing and steel fitting nuts before cutting the tubing to specified length with the help of string measurements from the old pipe at a distance of 3 mm (1/8 inch). Begin by installing fittings on tubing and then perform flaring operation by chamfering the inside and outside of the pipe using a de-burring tool followed by cleaning all lubricant from brake pipe and flaring tool. Set the J 29803-A ISO Flaring Kit (J 29803-A) in a vise while choosing the correct size collet and forming mandrel and inserting the forming mandrel into the tool body. Stop threading the forcing screw as it touches the forming mandrel before reversing it by making one complete turn. Push the clamping nut onto the brake pipe until it reaches the desired collet while leaving 19 mm (3/4 inch) of tubing exposed. Slip the forming mandrel into the tool body until it touches the forming mandrel face while carefully tightening the clamping nut. Apply firm pressure to the forcing screw by turning it until it reaches the final position then stop the tightening procedure before reaching over-tightness. The procedure ends by disassembling the clamping nut and collet before finishing the flare. Complete the pipe bending process by forming it to match the original pipe shape and by ensuring a 19 mm (3/4 inch) gap exists between all vibrating or moving components.
