How do you avoid cross-threading when reinstalling flared lines?

What will be an ideal response?


To avoid cross-threading when reinstalling flared lines, turn the fitting counterclockwise first to help seat the threads. Then turn the fitting carefully clockwise to tighten it. Jiggle the metal tubing while turning the fitting so you can turn it all the way against its seat using only your fingers. Then use a flare-nut wrench to tighten it securely. Be sure to use another wrench to hold the flare fitting from turning.
