Message	I tried the dremel method to remove the old hose that's crimped on, and I put a new hose and hose clamp in its place. Seems like that method works for pretty well for others, but it didn't work out too well for me. Anyone have a plan B? What about a compression fitting? I've also seen recommendations to flare the line, but it seems like it might be very difficult to do that with how little room there is to work.

If I had to guess, I'd guess 3/8" (n/m) - na300zx (OH) 20:18:18 03/13/10 5/16 is closer to the metric size and tighter seal - Warrz 00:55:43 03/14/10 I picked up some 5/16" ID hose, and it was too small. - BryceZ 19:36:26 03/14/10 2ND na300zx - ttz'in (NorCal) 21:46:21 03/13/10 Thanks for the help everyone. - BryceZ 05:11:52 03/14/10
