===Modifying brake lines=== Now here comes the fun part! Grab your Double flaring tool and put it nearby, you will need to bend your lines straight so that you can move the fittings out of the way so your flaring tool will fit. If you have the right tools to bend them you've done better than me. I used some vice grip pliers, grabbed the bottom end of the fitting (where your spanner attaches to) and while holding the lines before they bend, carefully straighten them without twisting them too much. Put your hard lines in the 3/16 hole. Make sure you have the bevelled edge on the flared side! Tighten it up making sure they're straight and the line is but up against the vice. [[File:MCUpgrade3.jpg|640px|center|link=]] Slide on the yoke and tighten by hand, you don't need any attachments for this. Using your socket wrench and while holding the vice very firmly with one hand to stop the line twisting, tighten it up a good couple of turns! [[File:MCUpgrade4.jpg|640px|center|link=]] And now you will have a double flare! As you can see the line on the right compared to the one in the vice [[File:MCUpgrade5.jpg|640px|center|link=]] Do this to the remaining lines.
