I need to replace a couple hard lines on the high-pressure side of my fuel injection system, and I need to know how to put a bead on the end of the tube, so the rubber hose doesn't leak or slip off. I have a double-flare tool, but all that does is smash the end of the tube and theteeth scar up the sides.

Is there a better way? Can some fix-it shops make the beads?

Try Eastwood tools, I think they had a bead tool just for that.

Reading about the beading tools on the Eastwood company website tells me that those kinds of tools are used by radiator shops. So, Instead of spending hundreds of bux for a tool I'll only use twice, I went to the radiator shop and they rolled the two ends free (they service my cars.)

It's a LOT better than using a double-flare tool, like I've been told.

thanks for the heads up!
