Re: AN hose fitting instructions
Don't cut the hose with an angle grinder, the ruibber will burn up and contaminate the hose. The best way is a VERY sharp chisel and a big hammer.
That install tool/koul tool is also not needed get a normal ratchet and socket and put the socket in there,. now you have some leverage on it and you can SCREW the hose in, turn it counter clockwise. It'll easily go in there without any special tools. Lube the socket to reduce the chance of damaging the anodizing.
You won't have to use a screwdriver to poke into the hose either.
Use AN wrenches, not a ratcheting wrench like he has. Those things are SHARP the black ratchet part is hardened steel. It'll bugger up your anodized fittings like nothing elkse. Also, those ratchets are 12 ponit, therefore the contact area on the fitting is tiny, causing even moer scratches and damage. Even a regular wrench would be better here. A smoothly polished one would do well.
