Broke fpr housing which flare tool?

[pungohboy]

hopefully this is the right section. I broke my fuel pressure regulator housing in my 02 f350 last night and have the billet replacement on the way but I need to cut and re flare the hard line that connects to get the old nut off. I do not have a flaring tool and have never used one. I see they sell single and double flare tools do I need single or double?

Take it out with a EZ out. Put the EZ out in the fitting.

Thanks for the suggestion Arisley. I tried several things i didnt grab an ez out big enough for fear of goobering the flair and having to flare it anyway. I ended up cutting and flaring. I learned a lot from this the main thing being I need a topside creeper my knees are killing me from kneeling under the hood.

Its not a normal flare. It is sealed with a vibralock seal.

Yea I did a single flare but had to make it smaller than normal. It looked just like the original and seems to be working good.

common 45° flare for vibralok according to the literature I found
