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… > **[04292012135](https://awdu13.wordpress.com/04292012135-3/)** > > Visit the post for more. 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 ---

I bought them from 3 sources. 1. getfast1 on ebay which has american made an fittings. they 50% cheaper than local when on sale 2. summit racing, i also got their earls hard line adaptors 3. performance improvements spring sale with crappy russell fittings, which, imo, are shit, even though they weren’t the ones to break ---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ---------- > [@danbikes](#): > > hang them from your tow hook, lol. lol tow hook fail??? i have oem rear hooks so they’d be all hidden up behind the bumper ---
