What you do is buy a new flare nut - complete.
Discard the old one.

A plummer could help you - have a friend ?

You might be able to make a new flare after cutting off the bad one.


It is a standard flare fitting (didn't know that it was called that),
and the brass ring in side the threaded nut that the tube goes through
is loose around the aluminum tube at the pilot light end.

If nothing else, could I get the parts, i.e. tube, round "thingies" for
the ends, threaded nuts, and a flare tool, and do it myself.

If so, where do I go to get all this.
