Lineslinger, very cool idea. I intend to try that trick the next time I do a braided hose. I like to use the aluminum jaws in my vise to hold the hose in place. When I twist on the nut sometimes I have to use a tiny screwdriver to help coax a couple of braided steel strands into the nut but once they are all inside the nut everything goes quite smoothly. I use Russell Hose Assembly Lube. That stuff is SLIPPERY. Just be sure all rubber residue is cleaned out of the hose prior to assembly. One more thing, to the best of my knowledge, only Aeroquip fittings have the notch on the nut to use as a hose length guide. The Russell fittings do not have that notch.
