Heeeeelp!!! what am I doing wrong!

I am doing the rear brake cylinder upgrade to a 1 ton cylinder and I can not get the break line coupling nut to thread into the new cylinder.
I mean, I have been trying for two hours and nothing works. I even tried to cuss it on but only thing happened the air turned blue.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Big Jimmy, super frustrated.

Maybe try loosening the cylinder, so you can get a different angle and threading the line in that way, maybe you r just off a little and need a different angle. You did get the right ones, Right?
BTW, righty tighty, lefty loosey.
(i couldnt help it)
Hope it works out.

Got it! It seemed to be cross threading, but was not. The other side took me 30 minutes start to finish...

Jimmy, heading to the cooler.
