I didn’t put a lubricant on when I was trying to get this -6 hose end onto my lines…
my loss.
there goes 10 bucks down the drain.
make sure you use a lot of fap fap fap lube!!!
Also make sure you cut the line clean with a tight wrap of electrical tape. The braided strands can get in the thread and f shit up as well
That’s what happened. I didn’t wrap the braided line and it got into the thread. I learned my lesson. the hard way… but apparently not because I went godzilla on a -4 fitting and guess what…
there goes another 15 bucks…
Are you using a vice? It helps a lot so that you don’t twist the shit trying to hold it with two wrenchs
yeah. I used a vice and one wrench. I over torqued the -4 fitting and it just broke off lol
I didn’t break any other fittings afterwards but man… that was money down the drain.
Makes me wish I went XRP
25 bucks down the drain, def learnt the hard way lolol
gotta buy a sticker decal for the newb effect
fitting_fail
hang them from your tow hook, lol.
Where do you buy your AN fittings?
I bought them from 3 sources.
- getfast1 on ebay which has american made an fittings. they 50% cheaper than local when on sale
- summit racing, i also got their earls hard line adaptors
- performance improvements spring sale with crappy russell fittings, which, imo, are shit, even though they weren’t the ones to break
