Assemlbing braided hose onto -AN fitting
anyone have any tips or good links, i don't know if i'm being retarded but these things are a pain in ass
specifically how far do you need to get the hose into the red fitting |
Get a big chisel, heavy hammer and a chunk of aluminum or steel. The chisel leaves a clean cut and make assembly easy. Lay the hose on your chunk of metal and give the chisel a couple hard wacks.
Great how to video!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDSozy6MZto |

What do you mean? It really is that easy. I do quite a bit with braided hose at work. |
i managed to get the hose in the end but the blue fitting i couldn't get started into the hose so i pulled it back out and now it's all fucked up
|
Are you taping the hose while you make your cut? That's the only way I could get an end that would feed in without fraying.
There are probably about $80 in fittings in the woods around my old house. I understand your frustration. :) |
What brand of stuff are you using. I recently switched from Earls to Goodridge and assembly is much easier.
|
well now i think i put the hose too far in, with these aluminum fittings i'm too afraid to tighten anymore
|
fuck this, this is just dumb, i'll measure what i need and pay someone to do it.

I used the summit branded fittings and didn't have any trouble. One fitting didn't want to work right, so i pulled it off, retrimmed the hose, and put it back together. After that it worked fine. The trick is to use LOTS of motor oil during assembly.
|
i guy at work got one end on for me. he used masking tape and used this tiny hacksaw which made a really nice cut. poured a ton of motor oil into the fitting and put the hose in without removing the tape, worked better than what i did.

JIC fittings with blue slip on ftw!
