Baton Rouge Rubber House can make the hoses while you wait. On Choctaw Drive near Airline Hwy. They have every fitting known to man for a fluid or air in a hose.

I bought a total of 7 hoses from them for my m246 at 1/3rd of the price compared to a local hydraulic house!
Fast shipping and hoses made in the USA.

Sometimes a great deal of leverage is required, try using some cheater bars or longer combination wrenches.
How about some pics of what your working on!
