Replacing Bridgeport oil lines???

[FishingMan]

Im replacing all the plastic oil lines on a bridge port series 1. Where they go into the saddle and knee it looks like they are just jammed into a hole. I bought and have enough plastic tube nuts & ferrels to probly do 3 machines. I just want to make sure its done right before i put the table back on. Thanks guys

I recently watched a video by a shop (W&H?) that rebuilds Bridgeports. During disassemble they said they just pop out and push back in. Never had one apart myself. Giving you a bump so someone with experience can verify.

I found a video on youtube. The guy just pushes them into the holes. He used a zippo lighter to heat the line a little to make tight bends in the plastic tubing. Genius

You might try over at OWWM.com in the Metal forum. That is a spot that specializes in things like this.

Good luck!
