Claim 14:
15. A hydraulic coupling system configured to couple a hydraulic hose to an automotive hydraulic cylinder, the hydraulic coupling system comprising:
a compressive adapter assembly including:
a first adapter portion configured to receive a portion of the hydraulic hose, and
a second adapter portion configured to engage an inlet tube of the automotive hydraulic cylinder, wherein a first tube portion of the inlet tube of the automotive hydraulic cylinder is configured to be received within the portion of the hydraulic hose and includes one or more surface irregularities configured to directly engage an inner surface of the portion of the hydraulic hose; and

a compressive sleeve assembly configured to engage the compressive adapter assembly and radially compress the first adapter portion of the compressive adapter assembly onto an outer surface of the portion of the hydraulic hose, thus compressing the inner surface of the portion of the hydraulic hose onto the first tube portion of the inlet tube of the automotive hydraulic cylinder;
wherein the inlet tube of the automotive hydraulic cylinder includes a second tube portion configured to be engaged by the second adapter portion of the compressive adapter assembly, wherein the second adapter portion is permanently deformable around the inlet tube to permanently retain the second adapter portion with respect to the inlet tube.
