Slow coach , lol

I did have to cut the nut off and make a new flare because it wouldn’t undo

done these when I had the pleasure of replacing my rear upper wishbones, what a job that was

ur very welcome and indeed was also in the same boat of not knowing , was really pleased with that flaring tool and done good flares each and every time

I also used a mini tube cutter which ensured the ends were square along with not leaving any rough edges or bits as I made sure I didn’t use a hacksaw

always happy to help where I can
