I've searched the archives and other sources for how to install the ferrule into the plastic brake tubing. The suggested way is to insert it, put it into near boiling water and then push against a brick wall. I have not had much luck with this.
I have tried lubing it with brake fluid, chilling it in the freezer, heating it in water and in the end the ferrule does not want to go in and seat all the way against the tube. I am about to make a clamp out of a wood block, clamp in the tube and pound it in with a plastic tipped hammer. What is the secret?
