Ordered new hoses but got the hydraulic fitting orientation wrong, Any way of spinning them around without damaging them?

No. All you can do is add a swivel coupling if there is room to do so.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Top tip from my guys in Raglan ..... new hoses are fairly adjustable for a while .. secure the fitting in say a vice (if it's an elbow - for a straight/banjo you'll need to attach to an adaptor) and rotate the crimp with some Moles, close to the shoulder so's you don't squash the crimp .... have done it loads of times from a tweak to half a rotation .. works fine up to circa 1/2" ... bigger'll need some still.ys

Grips on the ferrel, ring spanner on the fitting and they should move if new

TBH I've moved old pipe orientations before now ... can be a bit more challenging, but new ones're a POP up to 3/4" for sure ... 1" are a deffo stilly job

Not easy, but doable on a new hose.

Just ordered a load of 1 1/4" 4SN hose and fittings for a job. Best make sure we check the orientation twice and crimp once
