The right tools and fittings make ALL the difference! Recently got a set of hose shears from Vibrant and it makes things so fast and easy, and way less messy than the angle grinder imo. Great vid!
Great tips. For cutting the lines you can also use masking tape. Same results, less sticky stuff. Personally not a fan of using cresent wrenches, especially steel ones on aluminum. I subscribe to the right tool for the job mantra. For general lubing, marvel works great also. Doesn't break down oil, doesn't repel water like wd-40, and burns clean in a fuel system. All in all, great tips. Can't wait for the power plant to be reinstalled. Hope you film that.
LOVE the sick new intro

my problem with the shears is they pinch the hose
also good to note, if you cut with angle grinder, its good practice to blow the line out with compressed air to ensure its clear of foreign matter
absolutely. Always clean lines before assembly

I'm not generally a fan of using steel wrenches on aluminum lines, but when you are assembling 20an hoses, trust me, they are worth it
