Okay here we go.....

Get yourself some Aluminum jaws for your vise!




AND some way to cut cleanly..... MOST IMPORTANT!!!!


Saw and holder from XRP....




Or giant cutters -- I hate these because they deform the hose but they do work...






Or the way MOST people do this - by taping the hose and using an air cut off saw.... USE THE THIN 1/6" blades!





Make a NICE CLEAN CUT!!





Insert the hose ferrel or whatever the heck it's called into your jaws of life...







Insert the hose with a push and TWIST..... until it seats just below the threads!









Re-install in the vise...






LUBE THE HOSE!!







Anti seize the fitting!! Don't forget this part -- aluminum GALLS real easy... and the fittings are EXPENSIVE! LOL







PUSH DOWN WHILE GETTING THREAD STARTED!






Tighten it up....






DUUUUUDE!! <spicolli style> You're done!!
