Great video on replacing these lines. You master the art of coming across very clearly the info needed. Consider teaching automotive repairs and diagnosis.
Really well-done video, thank you. Great tips and information, good audio, great explanations, really good production and editing. Clearly a very knowledgeable and helpful person helping us all out. 5 stars!
Mate - you are a VERY good teacher, I have been doing rubbish on cars for years, some nice tips in there! I like the cutting of the hose bit, and the brake cleaner, I used to spray that everywhere! Thanks again
Man! Thank you for taking the time to post this video, you had some great tips for a non-mechanic like me.
didn't even think not removing the rubber line off the reservoir. Fortunately, it didn't break off ! Got a 5th gen camaro, and was going to replace the pump originally, but found alot of moisture on the high pressure line. Great work, learned alot from this !
It’s thanksgiving... I bought two new turkey basters.... one for the Jeep n one for the bird!
LOL...Now you wont have power steering fluid in your gravy!
@DEInTheGarage my new high pressure lines didn't come with new fittings. Are my old ones reusable? How in the Heck do they come off the old lines? Thanks! Adam
@@adamwittenborn7409 I don’t know but I don’t think so. Did they give you the wrong lines?
"Tighten it one and a half grunts" LOL!
Great advice! Gotta do this today on a grand prix and even tho this is a jeep the advice applies. Thanks.
Thanx for the video. Been searching on youtube for this exact fixation n you jst touched on everything i need to know so to save time n money. Appreciate it thanx 👍😊
Very well explained, thank you.
Big thanks. Just did this on my 2004 TJ using your video. Well done. You really helped me out.
Tighten it one and a half grunts. Lol I'm stealing that
This is a good way to explain lol. I usually tell people, "tighten it till its hard and then a little more."
Thank you for showing me this!
Great job explaining everything man.
Thank you. No BS. Clear instructions.
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for the feedback
Excellent video - clear, to the point, a lot of useful tips. Thank you.
Your explanation through out the video was right on keep up the good work ..
Excellent video, couldn’t be better, great job thanks, I need to replace mine on my Toyota town ace van, looks impossible to see where anything is, but after watching your video will give it a go, 👍
Thanks homie, I was just gonna start turning wrenches remove the lines install the new ones, and call it a day. The finer details are gonna help a lot. This will be easy as pie. I hit a nasty pot hole on the interstate yesterday and for certain my front bumper which is plastic bottomed out. The lines on my car hang low and it must have flexed the line which sprung the leak on an already older car.
Awesome video on same vehicle I have unfortunately theres bo junk yards in Long Island or NYC lol but now I know how to do the job
Lots of great tips! Thank you so much!
really helpful video thanks. Will see how this goes in the morning on my Ford transit
Great vid! Beneficial to use UV dye to find out where the leak is. That way you know what to replace. All my line have stuff on them like yours whether that is a leak or just other stuff is unknown. Great video thanks!
Excellent video ! Thanks
This video was great, super informative, never touched my PS system yet and I've learned at least 5 good tips
Thank you for this great video! So many valuable tips!!
Just wanted to say thanks man, this helped me knock this project out today.
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
I would have broke the plastic .....dam ....thanks bro...good will come your way .. great work
Yes it was a big achievement changing mine thanks
very nice, thanks!
Great vid! Thanks for taking the time.
Your A Master Brother. Great Instructional video.
Nice video! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks man. Good video. Mine appears to be leaking in the rubber part where it connects to the reservoir. I tried adding another hose clamp not to avail.
Extremely helpful. Excellent work sir.
Thank you!
I'm glad I watched this video. took my Jeep into the shop cuz I couldn't figure out where my leak was from and they said to replace the power steering lines it would be almost $400 🙄
Brilliant! Thank you!
Awesome video, very well explained job, tips and all!
Thank you and God bless!
Great, this is a good teaching
Well explained.
Thanks! Well done!
Thanks for doing this, I have a Jeep commander 06’ 5.7 I heard your wife has too, need to know about changing the whole pressure hose for the power steering. Thanks in advance!
Not my vehicle, but this is about the lines. Very good points made to keep Mr. Murphy at bay.
Fantastic video. Thanks
Saved $ not breaking reservoir nipple. Very good. Thanks
Yes i want to know about a buick regal 2011 power steering if i could tape it or something till i can get it to a shop
🙏 boy i needed this vid right now
Glad you found us!
A helpful tip with the high pressure line if you move it side to side just a little I’m talking cm when you move it to thread it. It helps.
Awesome video.
Made it look easy...
Hey 2012 Impala fluid line leak where it screw into rack and pinion. Is there anything I can do to avoid buying a new r&o
I just did this 2 days ago! Lol. You were spot on in this video!
Thanks bro thank you
Having a problem getting the lower pressure hose off my 2001 XJ steering box. Lefty loosey, correct? Really stuck, WD'd it. Any suggestions?
My power steering on my 2005 Liberty Jeep is making a whining sound when you turn the steering wheel and fluid leaks out of it when you turn your steering wheel but if you leave your wheel straight and you just go out and let it run and check it it's not leaking but so you turn the steering wheel fluid starts coming out of the line is that my pump is bad or is it just the fluid leaking cuz it's filled up with fluid
Suggestion... when adding oil or topping off, use the last few drops of oil left in the bottle on those rusty parts you see, such as that power steering line, or hood latch spring.
:)
Wow... i really like that idea! Thanks!
Thanks bro!
What is the best way to remove the rusted nut at the return line?
Thanks
Is there a list of tools&sizes needed?
Haha, a grunt and a half:) accurate:) great video.
Great video, whats size of wrench?
I have a van and I'm having a lot of trouble reaching down in there to get the old one's off. It's a 1991 Ford Econoline and it is a beast.
Do you think a universal wrench that swivels would be a good investment?
I sure do. Especially if you are going to be working on a van. Love me some vans, but damn if they don't make it hard to reach engine components
Cheers mate
Ok good know about Jeep but I’m working on 02 Chevy 1500 4x4 and have troubles starting to thread in the new line
Great video but what kind of rims are those on your jeep? I’m in need of those exact rims.
Those are just the stock rims that came on a 2000 Cherokee Sport
Nice video! Were you not supposed to extract all air that could have been introduced into the system?
Turning the wheel side to side will work the air into the reservoir as it is the highest point in the system. Then you top it off and you are good to go.
just did this on the v8 wj and man was a pain couldn't get the airbox off all the way bolt was broken onside so had to work around it. was so hard to thread in place. Should it be vibrating a bit I'm a kinda worried it's making noise now I hope that goes away once it's driven a awhile.
What is vibrating? The steering system or air box?
@@DEInTheGarage It was the steering at first but as soon as I drove It the vibration went away and steering is all smooth now and leak free.
Yeah, if you crack that air box or the vacuum box, you can get vibration because you broke the seal.
WHERE R U LOCATED UM N DA SAME BOAT AZ DA YUNG LADY MENTIONED B4... COULD VERY MUCH USE UR SERVICE... TIRED V BACK & 4WARD MECHANICS & BUYN POWER STEERING FLUID EVERY OTHER DAY
U want use flare wrench when installing ur lines or remove line put u got made on this one
I swear I’m so tired of being ripped off/dealing with mechanics who keep making me come back for the SAME ISSUE...Rack N Pinion/Power Steering Line smh I just want someone who knows what they are doing! Seems they should watch your video!
Or you could just watch the videos and do it yourself that's what I'm about to do
Idk if you still answer comments or questions, but if I follow this video step for step, will I be able to do this alone? Like, is there any keys components, steps, or techniques not shown in the video that may make me inadvertently mess up? I cannot afford to have this professionally replaced and want to do it myself. The whole line is warped and cracked. Also, how do I make sure I get the right replacement part for the job? I have a 2008 Sebring.
With this video you have everything you need. nothing is left out. If you have not tackled many project on a vehicle make sure you go slow and follow each step and you will be fine. I would go to rockauto.com for parts. it is idiot proof. pick the make > year > model > trim and it gives you the correct parts. good luck!
@@DEInTheGarage Thanks so much for answering! I was about to start making rash decisions lmao🤣
great video mate is a steering pump on a jeep difficult to replace?
Depends on the Jeep, but generally no. very easy.
Super great video but are we not going to talk about the Romex cable in the engine bay?
I have a whole video on it..
ruclips.net/video/TKoglpkEbcA/видео.html
People might disagree but i found using 10 wt hydrolic oil makes every seal hose etc last a whole lot longer never had another pump or seal go out once i quit using power steering fluid the fluid type is bull my dads dodge used a type mineral oil every 2 years seals would o out we put hydrolic oil in it over 200k miles no more leaks after 2 pump seal failures in 30k miles
Where would I get the 10 wt oil
@@randypond7499 i drove big rig i used to get mine at truck stops the last time i bought some was a regular parts store not autozone or one of them i live in a farm area and any tractor store should still have it ,i think the ATF or powersteering fluid is just too thin and too high detergant actualy hydrolic jack oil is the same
I love junk yards ❤❤❤
No O rings on those fittings?
Shouldn’t u flush it after replacing hose?
Lmao you break that it's game over
I suppose the true statement is "you break that and then the games have just begun"
you forgot the part where the flair nuts are rusted tight and you round off the nut with a flair wrench.
What size wrench?
I believe mine were an 18mm
What's the Romex for?
It runs to an outlet where I plug my winch driven snow plow in
@@DEInTheGarage Aha!
yep. those plastic fitting break 95% of the time.
Mantis Tobaggan It is ridiculous for car companies to use plastic parts on important components. Very annoying.
Joseph a‘ Christian it is, it’s sad. Go back 50 years , no plastic we used to make things to last and with some pride . Things have changed.
Good video and some good tips, but I’m sorry about your gay tattoos .
11 pm. What about on a Toyota Avalon
I like that hose removal technique... don't like that you nearly sliced your arm off though!
💜
Where are you located??? **SERIOUS INQUIRY
North west New Jersey
Can I ask you a question?
Instead of replacing those spring clamps that go over the ends of rubber hoses, I think it's a good idea to replace them with a screw type hose clamp. That way you can always tighten them if needed. You can do it all over the engine.
Certainly a good idea
instablaster...
Spring clamps are used because they can expand/contract with temperature changes. A screw type hose clamp can’t.
@Stick Wall Farm exactly screw clamps are not designed for temperature changes
got both lines new for $30.00
Changed my VW passat hose, it was a really pain in the ass, I almost cry ;(
I must tell you that you picture caused me to brush my screen several times trying to remove the piece of hair... felt like a moron when I realized. I expect that was the desired effect?
I never break’em I use WD40
Those yellow wires look like house wiring. I'm not gonna ask.
Lol please explain the meaning of an offset wrench again lol
What a savage, goes in an doesn’t use a crow foot wrench putting us normies to shame 😂
Don’t touch these chemicals with bare hands
To Much Work FOR ME
Creaking plastic . . .
Clean your engine compartment.
Dont use junk yard stuff thats crucial, nothing worse than having to do the same job twice or dealing with some one elses f#ck ups .
All the rest you say is right on and i have worked as a professional mechanic for some time now
So fucking up once wasn't enough for you to learn something? Thanks but I think I'll get my advice from somewhere else.
