Steve ,
The secret to no hassle when putting hose ends together is how the hose is cut!!!
1. wrap hose with electrical tape along about 3 to 4 inch's very tightly in a spiral manor so cut comes out in center of taped area.
2. cut hose with a shear or large bolt cutter, if not possible or working with larger hose use a metal cut-off wheel in a 4 inch grinder and cut slowly so each wire is not pulled out of position.
3. after hose is cut inspect for loose or stray wires and trim with electronic type or flush cut dikes.
4. remove tape from hose and twist or thread nut over hose. Push last bit of hose into the nut with thumb nail if needed.
5 apply anti-seize to threads on hose fitting end and assemble and tighten.
6. use AN wrench's or apply tape to adjustable wrench face so it will not mark the fittings/nut
