Compact Brake Line flaring Tool

[PeeBee]

I nicked a brake line a while ago so swapped out a complete line from the donor vehicle I had. Last week I filled the brake booster for the first time, headed off to work and came back into the shed today to fine all the fluid on the ground. After a bit of investigation it turned out the leak was from the fitting that terminates adjacent to the drivers side front wheel, but comes all the way from the rear of the vehicle.

I found the brake line I swapped out was slightly 'wobbly' despite the fitting being in hard and tight. After a great deal of effort that required disconnection of the other 4 lines I finally was able to pull the fitting out. It appears the 'old' fitting is stretched in the area of the first 4 threads and this is why it locked up solid.

I need to take this fitting off the brake line and put a new one on. I have one of the $35 ebay kits which works well on straight lines, however it is simply too large a clamping throat length to use as the brake line. has a 90 deg bend close to the termination point. I know long winded description.

I need a tool that is able to generate the flare in perhaps a 25mm length of tube, maybe shorter. I was thinking about the plumber copper flare device but they appear to be not suitable for steel lines.

Anyone know of a short footprint flare tool I could buy or done something in the shed to get around this once in a lifetime drama?
