Changing out steering hoses

[MARLINT220]

Does anyone know if a pressed on fitting can be done after the line has been pulled through the chase tube? I am trying to pull two lines through with the fittings already on the hoses and can't get them through the wiring bundles. I figured that I could if the fittings were off the line making them more stream-lined and then have the fittings appplied afterwards. Is there a mobile pressing machine? Help!

There are moble mechanics that come to job sites to repair hydraulic lines on equipment so I would say yes. Did you try them one at a time using tightly wrapped tape "arrows" on the ends? Use plenty wire pulling lubricant. It can be purchased at hardware stores.
