Default Pressure hose installation problem

Is it just me or do the pressure hose and the return hose take some doing to screw back on into the control valve? they came off pretty easily, but then again most things do LOL..reassembly is a pain

I spent 45 mins on them underneath the car and in the end the frustration got the better of me and i called it a day...well that coupled with a neck ache from lying down and cranking my neck up..lol...it tightens but then suddenly frees up and the pipe pops out of the CV...

any tips or just patience and a strong neck?

From experience - you must figure out which way the line has to go to get the fittings to line up. Then using a rag and a screwdriver gently pry the line while turning the fitting BY HAND.
