DO NOT take the tape off. What's the point? If you can see tape after you're done, trim it with a razor. The point of the tape it to keep it from mushrooming.

Also, spritz the inside of the hose with some WD40, it will help ease the fitting in place.

I also use AN wrenches to keep from scratching the fitting. If using reg. wrenches, cover fitting in tape. Keep pressure on the fitting in the vise with the heel of your hand and turn the wrench intil the fitting is completely seated.
