Re:how hard is it to cut a stealth mode return line??
I just did this yesterday. wrap masking tape (not duct tape, it gets gooey when you start cutting). 6-8 times around the line and then cut with a "fine" cut off wheel on the dremel. The fine wheel helps with fraying. You will go through about 3 wheels to get the cut done. I didnt use a vise, and did it on the car. I just took a shop towel and cleaned the inside of the tube when I was done. I bought 2 ft. more than I need so if you ---- up and need more pm me.

it is true that u can`t pull it off, but that`s after everything`s been tighten down, duh :P
but if ur talking about sliding the fitting on the hose but then not being able to pull it back off, that`s BS.

yeah i found it hard to believe but i had to ask to make sure. (oh and to sum it up, basically what i was sayin: my friend said the way the fitting(on the oil pan) was made "it was ment for the line to slide on the fitting but not be able to be pulled off" i hope that made better since.

I'm sure you are confusing my kit with that other one that uses "push lock fittings." You can pull it on and off a million times if you want.
And to cut the stainless hose, you will need to wrap it where you are going to cut it so the ends won't fray. Then use some type of really fast cutter. (chop saw, dremel, ect.)
