Finally finished Samco install this am...Boy did that suck!!!

My hands & arms are scarred.I'm black & blue all over & I feel like someone beat the sh*t out of me.The TIP had me miffed because it was a different size hex screw in my case.I had to take the hose off about 3x because there was one little spot where it would curl under & not go on the inlet.I think it might be easier with two people. There's so much stuff in the way you can't see if it's on correctly. Heating it definitely helped .Alot of this was totally by feel.I went for a short spin & it feels real good.I'm sure it will feel even better when the bleeding stops.;-)Thanks to all for advice.
