Ive just made some pipes up with parts from torques. They are very tight to get together. Watch the link to the video they give you. Pay special attention to any burs on the Teflon. I found after fitting the olive that putting a brad down the pipe made things a bit easier.

You definatley need a vice, a good saw and a bit of patience.

Once you get the first one they become easy. Also be aware not to get any of the steel braiding in the nut thread. I ruined a connector this way.

Right the only way to do this is to boil a kettle and fill a cup with boiling water.

After cutting the braided line in the correct position pull back the braid and dip the end into the boiling water ,do the same with the fitting for about a minute,then take out from the water and carefully slide the olive over the ptfe inner being careful as this is quite hot but slips over a treat ,then do the same with the fitting that you also heated up they fit on a treat this way came accross this method by accident but i have done over 30 teflon ends this way and was spot on!!!!
