Exactly. I probably should have mentioned that I never take these
apart again. If I thought I was going to have to disassemble, I'd
cut the line and make a proper AN flare. This is only a problem if
you have a bulkhead that you must mount again ... and that can
usually be finessed.
If not ... you really wanted to remake that line, anyway!
