    Default Cutting Steel braided lines

    I have a steel braided line with a 3AN fitting for my turbo build. The problem is that its waaaay too long. How would i cut it and put the 3AN fitting on the end that i cut? It looks like the 3AN fitting cant come off.

    This is exactly how it looks but super long.

    wrap tape around where your going to cut then use a cutoff wheel.

    You cant cut those lines. Those lines have compressed hydrolic fittings at the end.

    you can go to a hardware store like napa and they should have a fitting compressor to put new ends back on the hoses.
