I take a pair of pliers and grab the old hose along the nipple and "crush" it off (without actually touching the nipple). This pulls all the old hose off most of the time. Check for chunks of stuck on rock hard rubber! Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For

How are you removing the old ones? If you have induced any rough edges on the injector, that will happen (using knives or being too aggressive with pliers can do that). The other possibility is you have the wrong hose, but don't expect Rusty sent you the wrong one. On Mon, Aug 27, 2007 at 08:23:1
