Lubrication is needed on the flare surface when doing steel but I was able to make fine flares on steel even though I didn't need to I replaced both of the rear main lines.
Did you buy steel line or are you trying to splice into factory line (I do not recommend).

This is an existing line I busted during unsuccessful undoing of the rusted nut. I hate the thought of having to bend a new line, as I'm pretty sure it'll be a mess!
I really have to make this work. But first I must get it right on a test piece.
What is the reason that you don't recommend repairing the line?
