[quote=Diesel911;2085504]What companies hose did you use (should be printed on the side of the hose) and what inside diameter hose did you use? I would still like to find some hose that fits tighter on the barbs.
Also I already had the Dremel type tool to do the grinding with. What did you use?

Diesel911,

I will get you the specifics tomorrow. I have some hose left over so I can reliably identify.

I used a Dremel type tool from Harbor Freight. Just so everybody understands, this grinding process is not a thing of beauty. In addition, one of the hoses is so far inside the engine compartment that you have to hold the Dremel tool at the end and cautiously apply pressure.

As for cutting the tube to remove the barb after grinding the hose off; I consider that a bad idea. I worked the hose over the barb and clamped it on each side of the barb. It is very secure.
