[QUOTE="Tabres, post: 15411511, member: 8059"] I actually had a two man process going with my Dad helping me assemble them. He'd warm the end of the hose carefully with a heat gun to make the hose more pliable while I was retrieving the fitting from the freezer, putting them in a vice and then lube the barb portion and the leading edge of the hose. Then, we'd both push. The -10 stuff wasn't terrible, but smaller the size the harder it got. The -8 was a struggle and -6 was damn near impossible to seat all the way. The fuel return line on my car still has a 1/4 inch or so gap between the base of the fitting and the end of the hose but it hasn't leaked in 4 years and where it's plumbed isn't noticeable so I just don't worry about it. If I had a money tree in my back yard I'd have the device that KoulTools makes for this. [url]http://koultools.com/stop-fighting-with-those-push-lock-hoses/[/url] [/QUOTE]
