Default Flaring Help: GSR Master Cylinder in EG6.

I'm trying to finish off my Master Cylinder Swap in my EG.
The only problem has been flaring the lines for the GSR Master Cylinder which has 1 fitting which is bigger.

It requires a double flare, and the Craftsman Flaring Tool I have keeps letting the line slip through. Any suggestions?

Also, from people who have done the swap...Which Line goes into Which Side.

On the Civic, Both lines go into the left side of the MC, but on the GSR there is the larger fitting on the right....can anyone take a picture of their setup and email it to me @ Suprdave726@aol.com? Im trying not to flare the wrong line into the wrong side. Any adverse effects of doing so?

Thanks,

Suprdave

You already have a flaring kit, so you should be able to purchase the proper flaring fitting for your kit at any Napa store or Tool Distributor..i.e Snap-On, Mac Tools.. along with the larger fitting that is required..
Will it make an adverse affect if lines are reversed? .. to answer that, there is a "proportioning" valve there for a reason.. its too make sure most of the braking % is done on in the front and not the rear.. but if you do accidently reverse them you will notice this on the first test run, so just go back and fix the problem..

Come to think of it...wait for the proper response way to hook up the lines, doing it the "trial & error" way would require more cutting and flaring.. cause brake line length is limited...
