The "double flare" tool is not what you want to use for the Vanagon. What
you need is a "bubble flare", which is a different animal.

Want to see the difference? Have a look at:

I have no idea what to call it but I hope brake flaring tool will
suffice.
Anyways, I need one that will do the brake lines on my 85 westy. If
anybody
has an extra one or knows of a good source for a new one please let me
know.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick Bishop, appin Ont, 85 westy
