I am looking for opinions on the best brake line flaring tool to use and what size the brake lines are. I know the fittings are metric, but I have read that the lines are actually standard. If so do I need a metric flaring tool or standard.

I am planning on doing the rear FF conversion and at the same time removing the LSPV, relocating where the soft line connects, removing the antilock, and adding a Summit adjustable proportioning valve. Any guidance on tool selection and brake line size is appreciated.

 

Toyota brake lines are like 5mm lines with 10mm fittings, not SAE. You will need a metric flaring tool that does double flares, but your MPV will have standard fittings, so you will have to do some piecing together.

 

Can I put SAE fittings on metric brake lines?

Any recommendations on which tool to buy? After doing some reading it sounds like the biggest issues if off center flares and it is an issue with most tools with the exception of Matco that has a locking centering device. Which have you used?
