Has anyone installed a dishwasher before? I sat on my kitchen floor for over 4 hours yesterday (no joke) trying to get the stupid compression fittings on the inlet hose to stop leaking. I sure hate those things now. No matter what I did the stupid thing would still have a tiny little drip coming out.

I have given up.

Has anyone used one of those dishwasher install kits I have seen being sold? I didn't want to get one because I figured I could do it myself with tubing and lose nuts / fittings, but I just cannot get it to stop leaking. There must be some magic behind putting those things in straight. Also, I can't get the darn elbow to tightening all the way around to face the back, it's on an angle now. Should I keep doing it to try to make it face the back or just leave it facing to the right of the dishwasher.
