    DIY AN type fitting install

    Fitting Install DIY.

    So here is a DIY on installing your typical braided hose type fitting.

    You have your fitting here... In my case it's a -8an


    You take and disassemble it like so


    Then you take this end and push it onto the hose.


    Now your left with this



    You take the fitting and lube the tip up with a bit of anti seize or arp fitting lube then insert it into the end of the hose with your outer fitting on it like such


    Now this is where things can vary between assembly.

    I have these wrenches used specifically for this installation.


    I also bought a clamp for the vice used to hold the fitting so you can tighten the ends together.

    Now take the hose and the fitting that wraps around it and put it into the clamp/vice.


    And put your wrench on and tighten until the two ends meet.




    Take the assembled hose and spray the insides with parts cleaner to remove and excess lube from the hose and blow it out with compressed air. I like to do that 3 times over to ensure its all clean.

    Now look at your handy work..








    You can also just use 2 wrenches and tighten the fitting together that way. I had the tools to make things easier for me.

    Hope you enjoy.
