No need to use hot water or a heat gun. Made hundreds of push on hose assemblies and only used 80-90w gear lube.
However, I will say that Aeroquip ends are the worst push on fittings to assemble from personal experience. The barbs are bigger when compared to others and takes a little more effort to get the hose to seat.
Connect a fitting to the hose end and secure it in a vise for a better base to push against. The most important part is to make sure you coat the barbs with plenty of lube. Give the hose a little wiggle from side to side as you push the hose over the barbs and you should be able to slide it right on.
Yes, it is a little like pushing rope, but once you get the hang of it (individual technique and a few F bombs) it becomes a snap.
sure you can get them on without heating the hose but it makes it so much easier why not do it they just slide right on no wiggling no F-Bombs
