Most NAPA stores have the machinery to do this. Standard AN fittings are meant to be put on with hand tools and can be moved from hose to hose. they cost a bit more but are cheaper in the long run.

i guess the picture didn't come through. i bought a mess of these off ebay for oil & fuel lines and if i can cut the crimps off and reuse the fitting with a new crimp i would be ahead. i might have to use the standard fittings though. i'll check at napa and see what they have.

Vector1. Check with the manufacturer of these fittings to see if they can be reused. Most crimp fittings see deformation of the nipple (portion inside the hose) when the socket is crimped on, so reusing the nipple may leave you with a leaky hose end for no apparent reason. I worked for Aeroquip for 5 years as a trainer, and this was one misconseption users had about crimp on fittings. Good Luck.

Good advice from sdonnel ... I spent over 20 years with Parker in the Mobile Hydraulics Group .... and another thing you need to be aware of is make sure the fitting is compatible with the hose used . In other words , don`t use a fitting designed for use with a two wire braid hose on a one wire braid hose or the other way around . I`ve seen hoses blow out of fittings in the field when the wrong combinations were used . Granted , we don`t see 2500 to 4500 psi on our engines , but it could still create a problem .
Any competent , certified hose assembly shop can keep you out of trouble .
