Picked up a hydraulic AC hose crimper on Amazon to make up the lines for my 3G conversion.
Looks pretty straight forward, but a couple of questions for those who've done this.
- Most videos seem to show them struggling on the lever. How do you know when you've compressed it enough?
- I saw a video where the guy suggested compressing the fitting twice. Do it, then flip the fitting 180 to get a more uniform crimp. Is this necessary?
Seems it might do more harm than good, if not positioned perfectly the 2nd time.
Any other tips to get this done without any leaks?
