They did it so you would take it to them so they can charge you an arm and a leg to replace it. Harbor freight has a set of crows foot wrenches which they call flare nut 16mm and 18mm sizes you need for $35.00. You can pay for the wrenches by buying the hose from parts geek for $18.00 vs. Oreilly $69.00. Would be surprised if dealer would it for less than $500.00. You know you have to pay for their rags.
