wow, that was easy. did exactly what both of you said to do (and borrowed friend's AN vice clamps that summit carries). taped it off tight, used a dremel to cut the line, not a single strand of SS popped out. That did, however, cost me 1 dremel disk per fitting, lol. Oiled up the line, fitting, used a 3/4" ratchet on the outer clamp, it went right on. Nice of summit to reverse thread'em too, so when you're screwing the line in, it doesn't pop back out.
