[QUOTE="CrustyJeep, post: 1008443, member: 15960"] As 84Toyota4x4 said, the base of the die doubles as a gauge to measure stick out. Go to NAPA and tell them you need some dies for the flare tool. They love to spontaneously self destruct from time to time. Once the "nipple" bends even a little, it's all over. Order five of them for backup. They shouldn't cost more than a buck or two each. If you don't have one, go get a proper tube cutter. Anything else will make a crooked cut, and you'll have a hell of a time putting a double flare on a crooked cut. With a proper cutter, you should never have to do anything to the end of the tube; just cut and flare. Any attack with a file or such will likely make the end crooked. [/QUOTE]
