Subject: Re: What oil to use when assembling AN Hose end fittings? by mseven on 2011/5/1 12:06:58 yep some summit AN wrenches and regular motor oil here. What I would add is I use a piece of 90* 1 x 1" alluminum angle from lowes. Cut yourself a couple of pieces to fit on both jaws of the vice and place a piece of duct tape on the exposed sides being used to clamp the fitting. The side of the fitting not having the hose end being installed wil be placed in the "soft jaws" of the vice. I also place a thin piece of blue painters tape on the fitting side the wrench is going on (and sometimes on the wrench and the other side as well). The black fittings I use tend to scratch easy. This method allows for the ends to look perfect when finished. When cutting the braided stainless use some tape on the end before cutting so that it will go in the fitting easier and prevents some finger stabbing....the rest is assembly. |
