Re: Oil cooler line fittings
Make sure the oil line is nice and warm to make it more pliable.
Re: Oil cooler line fittings
That might help. The lines are probably about 50-60 degrees F. The heat gun that you use with Oratex goes down to 120, so I'll try heating the lines with that.

Yes, heat them up. I put the ends in a pot of hot water, lubed with oil, and they went on pretty well. It still took some elbow grease to get them all the way down.
Re: Oil cooler line fittings
I use a kettle. Bring water to a boil then put end of hose in it till it is warmed and softened .
