This has been one frustrating day. I've been trying build -16 braided stainless hose today. I built -12 with no problem but this -16 is at a whole 'nother level. I'm using Earl's Perform-o-Flex hose and Swivel Seal hose ends. I can't the -16 to go together without backing out of the socket 1/4" or so. I understand that 1/16" is the max the hose should back out of the socket by the time you've got the socket tightened down.
Anybody tips for put the hose ends on -16? I'd heard that it could be difficult but sheesh.
Starting to go nuts...
