Could someone clear this up for me, i have the brakeline and the m10 and m12 fittings i just need to know whether to use brass barrel olives in the end or to flare the ends to stop the fittings from sliding off?

just flare it mate. you DONOT need olives unless you are talking about braided flexi hoses...

as said above, if the insert is falling off then the swage is not done correctly...
