yes i do... i do i do do do. anyone got any tips for assembling them? Its a -10AN hose w/ the ends... it's painfully hard to get them in... i already frayed (sp?) up one end. so i'm gonna cut it off tomorrow. please help.

 

The key is duct tape, alot of it. Try cutting it with a dremal and put it on a vise to hold it down..

 

that's only to cut it right? or can you use the duct tape on the ends when u trying to put it into the hose end?

 

yeah, just to cut it.........I used masking tape and a dremel with a cut off wheel.........just don't use electrical tape with this method...the electrical tape melts.

 

Try a thinner tape than duct tape, like scotch tape or electrical tape. One layer, tightly wound. Then after you make the cut you can jam the hose into the end fitting without removing the tape and once you get it part way in, peel the tape off.

And while you're at it...get outta' that army lookin shirt, and stop smokin that DOPE!

thats what i did. if you have problems with the ends fraying then snip off the frayed ends. when installing the earl fitting over it, get like 1/2 of it on the hose then use a small flat head screw driver to ply in the frayed edges, after that the rest is easy as cake.

 

damnit... it's sad... i don't own a dremel

close... i'm in the wifebeater... looking swole' ... not helping though... my hands are what's swellin up now ... like seriously... how much does the damn thign have to go in... i've been pushing on it for like half an hour now.

 

Use a marker to make a mard on the hose and measure it to where it will be on the top.

thanks for all the help guys... i figured it out. sorry if i sounded stupid. it's my first attempt at putting together AN lines myself. someone told me u have to just jam the hose into the whole hose end assembly.


i went to a couple sites that sell the ends. and they said to unscrew the blue part from the red part, then push the red part over the hose, then tighten up the assembly. boy was i misinformed. i feed stupid oh well... learning is fun.

 

yes learning is fun. when you have the red part on the hose, screw it onto the hose while pressing it on. its easier then pushing it on.

 

Oh damn, if we knew that we could have helped you sooner! Now it's time to whoop the guy's *** that told you to jam it in there, what a maroon!

Now, I'm off to change my springs....again. Going for that floating on pavement look with the Neuspeed Race springs this time

 

LOL, that was funny. Well at least you learned and the most important thing.

haha i was thinkin about doin the same.

 

Judas Priest Barbara...it's a floating Honda again!

Damn, it looks sooooo good. Makes me sorry I ever bought that stupid Eibach Prokit! Go for it...aieonline.com has them for like $145 shipped right now!

 

I used a set of wire cutters (big *** commercial ones) and that worked. No tape either. It didn't fray at all. Try that.
