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



True, and you can also use a sledgehammer to pound in finish nails. Not the best tool or technique, but it still gets the job done.

Plenty of lube in the hose and on the barbs will get the job done.
