914 oil lines and fittings.

Man, the oil lines are a bugger. I cut the line for the tank to left side of oil cooler. It won’t need fire sleeve, so I figured I would install it now. It went on the elbow fitting with some effort, but the fitting on the oil cooler is not cooperating. It’s half on. I can’t remove it, or get it to go on further. Are there any tricks, or is it just a challenge?


I also looked at the banjo fitting in the crankcase bottom. It is designed for a 37 degree fitting connection. It seems to be pointed very close to one of the exhaust pipes.
