Thanks Rodger,
I have done a number of them now and am more familiar than I ever wanted to be.

Also, some fittings have cutters on the nipples which will damage the end of the hose when you unscrew it from the socket.
To do it right, make sure your hose is long enough that you can cut it at the back of the existing fitting, which will shorten it approx. 1". You want to install the new hose end on undamaged hose.
