aeroquip push on hose & fittings
Anyone any problems putting steel fittings on aeroquip push on hose?
Have got ones to fit oil cooler to my ae86. Having problems, tried oiling and lubricating fittings but can't get them to push on fully! Hands are getting sore!
Any special way of doing it, screw it/ push straight?
Any help appreciated, read a few people on here have used these before.

Those are a bitch to fit, try heating them up before inserting.

With hose fittings what I have noticed is that you need to make sure that the barb sits nice and even.

I lubricated the fitting and hose with oil, and warmed up the hose carefully with a heat gun. Put the fitting in a vice with soft jaws and then pushed like *&^%#@.

Make sure you dont accidently melt the plastic ring on the fitting if you heat that too.
