Tall_Rob Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Never ever heat any part of it up!These are the words of wisdom from the Tarty boys....... You'll need a vice, pair of maggie pads (preferably koxx blues or brown), a knife and a nylon mallet.Pinch the maggie hosing in between the two pads in the vice. You're gonna need them done up tight to stop it moving but the pads will not damage anything.Run the knife around the inside of the hosing to chamfer the edges. This helps the barb fit in easier.Use some mineral oil to lube the barb and the hosing and then tap the barb in with the mallet.You must make sure it goes in straight or you'll damage the hosing.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
