URGENT I need a metric double flaring tool

[Aron]

I've come to the conclusion after trying a couple different standard flaring tools with no success, that my rear brake lines must be metric.

Does anybody know where I can buy/borrow/steal a metric double flaring tool? I've had no success finding one locally at the hardware store, Auto Zone, or auto parts stores.

I may have found one at a different Auto Zone. The last one I tried said they had a metric one and it ended up being standard. Let's hope they know the difference at the next store.

They had the right one, and it worked perfect. ABS delete/line lock is done. Now on to the reason I started this project in the first place... broken rear brake line.

I finished up today. I wouldn't say I busted my ass, since I really only worked on it one day last week, then a couple hours yesterday and today, but it sure wasn't fun cutting and flaring the lines under the hood.

Replaced the rear brake line today. After rounding off the fittings on the used stock line I bought, I ended up going to the auto parts store and got a pre-flared piece of straight line. Trimmed it down to the perfect length, then it took 3 tries to get it to flare, then it was too short, so I had to go get another one. But, it's done, and it's going to the shop Monday to get bled. Should be a fun drive across town with no brakes other than the e-brake.
