You also said you have done it a couple times, which was the qualifier in my statement that if you hadn't, you probably shouldn't.

I'd be willing to bet this is a farm truck. I dont think the length matters. The flare tool is a die that makes accurate flares. I think MO is experienced enough with tools to not **** it up. I see where you are coming from and given the fact that i am just a shade tree mechanic you could be right but brake lines are a common fix. Especially on the drums. I think rear brakes supply around 20% of the braking power.
