I started running the brake lines for my Mk IV so I decided to practice flaring my brake lines with the vise mount Eastwood flaring tool. I'm using the 3/16 brake lines that come with the kit. My process is to use a tubing cutter to cut the tube, then debur inside and outside of the tube. I, then mount it in the tool with a little bit of lube and the proper die and then perform operation 0. I then crank down on the clamp and perform Operation 1. However, when I do Operation 1, the tube get pushed out the back of the die. I'm using light pressure on the handle too. No matter how hard I crank down the the clamp (I mean really hard!) the tube still gets pushed out the back on Operation 1. If I continue on to Operation 2 the flare is buggered up.

I've read the directions 3x, watched the instructional video a few more times and still can't get the tube to stay in place for Operation 1.

Has anybody else seen this problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
