A good trick is to wrap some electrical tape tightly around the area where it is to be cut. Then take a fine tooth hacksaw or Drimel tool with a cutting wheel to cut through the taped area. Do not push real hard when cutting through the braided part so it retains its shape.


It should cut through cleanly and then allow you to insert it easier into the fitting. I actually left the tape on when siding it into the fitting and then cut off the excess so it would not show.

Hope that helps ( and makes sense)
