Goodridge hose and connector fitment

[STEEL Niner]

SO, i got some awesome goodridge hose and the same namesake connectors but cant seem to find any instructions on how to install, has anyone done this before?

 

If i just cut the hose and try to slip the threaded collar over it, it is very tight and only goes on about 1-2mm. If i remove just the plastic outer exposing the mesh it seems too loose!?!?

 

Secondly to try and thread the second element of connector into the hose separately also seems to be more difficult than it should and damn near impossible. Please help with any tips or advice regarding installation.

 

Thanks!!

Bump, Any ideas? Or alternatively, how much to get it fitted professionally by one of the fine establishments/mechanics that represent here?

I bought some from CRC and the shop couldn't get it to work on my 08 xt brakes.  Have a look on the goodridge site, they have a pfd instruction manual there...
