Default I need help installing ss brake lines

I look at my old ss brake line and one of them was ready to explode. So I had ordered set of ss brakestop and try to install them. my rear lines where just fine but myfront don't seem to want to connect to lines on top. How did you guys get them installed ?

You aren't the first with this problem. Probable that the brake line flare ending is preventing the treads from engaging. You'll need a small metal file and take that edge down just enough. DON'T force that s.s. line fitting on there or you risk stripping it out.

Be careful not to over-torque the lines when re-installing them.
