If it's soft metal, just re-do the flare, but be careful not to work harden the material?

   Sometimes I amaze myself how stupid I can be.

   I received a lot of good advise suggesting that I had a flare adapter
   in an o-ring fitting on my condenser.  I was convinced enough to go try
   and pull the adapter out of the fitting.
   Well, when I pulled back the threaded barrel that screws into the
   female flare fitting guess what I saw.   It is a straight flare.   I'm
   now guessing (as Larry Finch suggested) that the shoulder on the flare
   was created when the AN fitting was tightened down on it.
   So now I'm trying to figure out my next move beyond replacing the AN
   connector.  Can the flare be reworked to remove the shoulder?
