I did mine without a vice.
I used 2 huge ass wrenches to tighten them. I tape the end with masking tape and cut them with a chop saw for nice square ends, I get the nut over the masking tape, then remove the masking tape, install the ferrel and then lubricate the end of the hose and the hose end and push it until seated then tighten up the nut. Mine are not really AN. Mine are steel 37 degree JIC fittings (think hydraulic hose). I found the larger the line, the easier they are to install. It is easiest to take them to the hydraulic hose shop and have them swedge the fittings on. |
