don't know what to tell ya then, without being there. if they screw in, your gonna have to figure out how to get them in and screw them in tightly whilst still having room to do so.

well lets see what others have to say about it. I get my new pressure line tomorrow so I will know for sure then. Just seems odd that the acutal line has to move with the fitting. Big pain in the ***[:@]

if your whole problem is the line moving with the fitting, it shouldn't. the fitting on the end of the line should spin freely, if its not screwed into anything.

its a horrible process especialy if you have to change from under the car like i did, i think i replaced both lines? i think i started one then started the other. i couldnt tighten one all the way becuase you had to move the line around ( thats why it swivels)
