"I found that the nipple would pick up a little of the interior of the hose and push it ahead as it is threaded in.  I used a wire coat hangar to push out the debris, then poured hydraulic fluid through the hose over and over, plus blew compressed air through."

George,

You may have damaged the interior wall of the hose.  I would suggest using the proper mandrel for installation of the 491 fittings.  They prevent the leading edge of the fitting from digging into the rubber of the inner wall. 

 

This may also be of interest.  EAA has a large collection of how-to videos including this one showing how to fabricate 303 hoses.
