I'm with Randall, with one addition. Use a flaring tool and put a small
flare on the end of the line so the hose won't slide off. If you have a
double flare tool, all the better, just put the bulge in the tubing and
put the hose on. I had a hose slide off a transmission oil cooler line
once. When I complained to the shop that did the work they told me that
kind of thing was why that particular mechanic was not working for them
any more!
Peace,
Pat
