Apparently that's the case. Whomever assembled or reassembled the AN fittings did not have a CLUE as to what they were doing.

Shame you had to be victim #2. Stainless lines just do not come apart unless done incorrectly.

He actually doesn't need any if he reassembles the one bad end..(these are reusable fittings)
Scroll down to page 5 in this .PDF for instructions. I'll be building a few lines this week..

Mod, I do not feel comfortable cutting the hoses and doing that myself. That was the whole reason that during my transaction with Tardcore, I kept re-iterating .. ok so I get the good "used" hose (under the assumption it was untampered), the new hose, the setrab core, and mounting bracket.... Little did I know, he had tampered with the other "used" hose as well.

Good point. The thing is that line is sooo long. I guess I can switch it to the other side to help take up some of the extra slack, and perhaps just need the short line from GTM. It just still bothers me that the line just came off like that .. it makes me wonder whether he attempted to alter the "new" line as well. I should have taken more pictures of the items received as well as the installation. At one point, early in the process, I did think it was odd that the nut portion of the AN fittings appeared to worn a bit .. but I passed it off as normal wear from installation and removal.
