I'm putting brake lines in my 75 standard bug. I had to shorten the line from the Mc to the rear. My smallest die in my kit is 4.75mm. What size do i need?Thanks guys!

You use the largest one that will fit inside the line.

None of them fit...The smallest die (4.75mm) is too big

You use the die that matches the O.D. of the brake line. VW lines should be 4.75 mm (3/16 in). The tip size on your tool is probably
close enough. Did you deburr the cut end of the line? That's a necessary step. Try it and see.
