Most large aircraft repair FBO's will have the swage tool and dies or know where to get it done. It's important to measure the fitting after swaging to ensure enough crush pressure was used with a micrometer. Or have them pull tested to ensure strength is met. AC 43-13-1b (FAA DOT) has some details on this process on page 7-31 Regards Chris Gardiner
