- Ensure the locking screws on the flaring tool body are loose enough for the tubing to slide freely.
Istruzzioni di funziunamentu
Follow these steps carefully to create a perfect inverted 45-degree SAE double flare.

- Step 1: Prepare Tubing and Tool
- Loosen the locking screws on the flaring tool.
- Insert the 3/16-inch tubing into the tool.
- Slightly tighten down the locking screws, allowing the tubing to still slide back and forth.
- Step 2: Position the Tubing
- Insert the positioning bolt into the tool's threaded opening until the end is flat against the tubing.
- Slide the tubing into the tool until it is flush with the positioning bolt.
- Tighten the locking screws fully to securely clamp the tubing in place.
- Remove the positioning bolt.
- Step 3: First Flare (OP1)
- Apply a small amount of the provided Grand 66A die lubricant to the OP1 end of the double-ended punch.
- Insert the OP1 end of the punch into the tool's threaded opening.
- Hand-tighten the punch until it makes contact with the tubing.
- Using a wrench, fully tighten the punch until the hexagonal part of the punch is flat against the tool body. This creates the initial flare.
- Loosen and remove the punch.
- Step 4: Second Flare (OP2)
- Apply a small amount of the provided Grand 66A die lubricant to the OP2 end of the double-ended punch.
- Reverse the punch and insert the OP2 end into the tool's threaded opening.
- Hand-tighten the punch until it makes contact with the tubing.
- Using a wrench, fully tighten the punch until the hexagonal part of the punch is flat against the tool body. This completes the double flare.
- Loosen and remove the punch.
- Step 5: Release Tubing
- Loosen the locking screws on the tool body.
- Carefully remove the flared tubing from the tool.
- Inspect the flare for uniformity and integrity.
Usage on Vehicle
Image: The compact design of the Titan 51535 tool allows it to be used directly on a vehicle's brake line in tight spaces.
The compact design of the Titan 51535 allows it to be used directly on the vehicle, eliminating the need to remove the brake line for flaring. This is particularly advantageous for repairs in confined under-car spaces.

Mantenimentu
- After each use, clean the tool components, especially the punch and the clamping blocks, to remove any lubricant residue or metal shavings.
- Store the tool in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.
- Periodically inspect the threads of the punch and positioning bolt for wear. Replace components if significant wear is observed to ensure continued accurate flaring.
- Always use the provided die lubricant or a suitable alternative to reduce friction and ensure smooth flaring operations.
