i'm currently redoing mine also. 1/4" line to rear also. i struggled at first with the cheap tools i could borrow. finally i said screw it and bought snap ons general double flare kit for like 50 bucks and their smaller cutter to fit in tight areas for like 25. works great and damn near perfect every time as long as i secure it in the vise first. doing them by hand is alittle harder. so for 75 bucks i have another set of good tools that made my job 1000x times (also picked up the 180 degree bender for like another 60). now with alittle bit more practice i feel i should be able to redo my tranny cooler lines and also maybe tackle some 3/8 air line....
