  • The pressure hose on my Hyundai comes with a steel line with flare nuts on each end. I'm having trouble aligning the flare nut properly with the thread since it's so tight. So it will screw in partially then pop out. The crows foot I'm using is too large and the tie rod is blocking any thoughts?

  • @paingain100 isn't replacing power steering hoses fun? Yea, no working room on that Korean piece of work. Just keep trying, sometimes it even takes me hours to align the stupid crap.

  • Hey Scotty, Im tryna swap out some leaky tranny oil cooler lines on a 04 Chevy Tahoe 5.3, the rear cooler lines on the tranny, seems like no way in hell to get to them to take them off, do You know what size bolt the connecting the lines is?, & what kinda tool would I come about to do the job?..Any & all help would be thankful..Thanks Scotty!

  • @CumminsFanatic57 no idea on sizes, I just get my wrenches and sockets in trays and try until I find the right one even myself. But the lines going into the cooler have special tools to remove them and pop em out, any auto parts store can sell you that.

  • How would you flush out old steering fluid? Is there a easy way to do it like maybe on a Honda? Thks!

  • @Autofanatic28 suck it out, put new in, drive 5 minutes, and repeat 5 times or so. Scotty

  • @scottykilmer I managed to get that flare nut most of the way in. I had to get some rubber dish washing gloves to tighten it by hand. Steel part of the pressure line has to intertwine with other parts of the line to keep them in place. Thanks again!

  • Oh, sorry, I also have a 1999 Mercedes E320. Thanks for any help on this! Happy Holidays.

  • I tried to replace my hose but the old bolt would not go back on. Where can I get a new bolt fast. I can't find it in the parts lists?

  • Hello I have a 1992 gmc vandura van that needs the power steering hose replaced the lower on is stuck tight used a cheater bar unable to budge it any ideas? If I am unable to get it off I was going to use FLEX Seal on it until I can get it into the shop...

    I am open to any suggestions thanks in advance.

  • what hell happened at 1:10? Why'd u get spooked?

  • I will attempt to do this with my 2002 Cadillac Deville. I was instructed to take off the heat shield, is this necessary?
