Are you flaring stainless steel or standard brake lines? SS is a little harder to do right. Make sure you clamp the line good and tight before flaring and make sure your cut is at a perfect 90. If you still have trouble, bend your lines and take them to a brake shop/mechanic to flare. Or, alternatively you can rent the tool from fedhillusa for $25 a week (refundable deposit due on rental).
