Would still need to cut the pipe as I cannot just slip new nut on. So would need to cut the flare off and make a new one after putting new nut on but my flaring tool is the cheap version not suitable for stock steel pipes, will only do copper pipes. So need to cut stock pipe shorter and use compression fitting to join to copper pipe.

PS. I could not get it on the nut anyway because the pipe is in the way and it is attached to body and its male nut so half of it is screwed in the hose not accessible.
