I went to a tipco dealer who assured me I had exactly the right hose for the application and it still leaked. There must be somthing wrong with the barbs. That's why I'm trying to switch to AN fittings. No more worries. If I can just get these NPT's off without damaging the aluminum housings.I know there are different brands of pushlock hose and fittings. The barbs must be used with the correct hose or you will never get it on. Or worse, it wont grip the barb tight enough. If you blow one of the lines, bearing damage is almost guaranteed so make sure you have the right stuff.
To get the fittings off you need a bigger wrench and a vice.
