Not just any flaring tool. Has to be a double flared end. Don't buy a double flaring tool from Advance Auto. They are junk. Bought one, returned it for another one, returned it and got my $$ back. Borrowed a real one from a friend, worked like a champ.

Yep piece of cake. I just did some. If I can anyone can. And I used a "cheap" tool. It takes some practice to get it. The hardest part is learning to not let the little button you use first go cocked. If it starts to probably as a result of the tube end not being exactly even wedge a screwdriver under the lopsided side till it straightens out.
The tubing Advance sell has a green coating on it which tends to let the tube slip in the tool and gums up in the little grooves that are supposed to grip the tube.
I clamped the tool in a vice to help hold the tube. More clamping.
They sell fittings but you. can reuse yours.
