They sell a product that makes the hoses easier to press on...I know it is a bitch without it!

The stuff is pretty much feels like motor oil, so you might be able to use that as well.

What we used was place one single strip of black electrical tape around the very end of the hose kind of snug, then just kind of rock twist and turn the AN fitting until it seats. If its not seated properly when you tighten the fitting, it will push the tape up where you can see it. Just reapeat the process...its makes it alot easier.

Does anyone have any pics so I can see what they look like I have some I might put on but I was running into the same problem getting them on. It is a b___ch ,you think they would already have hose together just mount them on.
