The bread tie...helped a TON. The hardest part was the fact that the Hulk must have torqued down the bolts and the freaking satanic hose clamps. We took the wheel and the plastic guards off, and it made it easier for my son to see what I was doing. I spent more time on the damn hose clamps then I did replacing the hose. For those that do this, just take a strong flat head, and spread the hose clamps apart. I had taken them off the frame, and that was a waste of time. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
I used the twist tie trick once replacing the gear shift lever spring on a '92 GMC van. Once the spring was in the correct position I pulled the wire out and voila! Back yard mechanics have to be very creative.
Just wanted to say with the help of a friend, managed to change mine on a 2013 yesterday not it was not easy. Easy if you have it up on a hoist I'm sure but lying on your back under jack stands and trying to get the banjo bolt in was a nightmare and the other side ain't no picnic either. If you slide under from the front head first, the banjo bolt is just past the stabilizer bar on the drivers side and the line loops up behind the engine and then back down to the pump on the passenger side. Maybe that will help someone visualize how it all connects. We also took the battery out to get access to the bracket up top (just what we did).
Was very curious how long this job takes bc I just had the invoice given to me from the garage. They charged me $180 for 2 hours labor. In total the job was $250
Hi, I have Ford Edge Sport 2014. What I noticed, and not only myself. My son and my daughter also noticed that, the steering is too hard to turn, especially when you’re in low speed. I tried to tell the dealer. But unfortunately nothing has been done yet. What they said it’s hydraulic system. But should work softer if hydraulic. I really surprised what happened and just 2 years old since I bought. Thanks
I have a leak on the driver's side connection should I just replace the copper gasket ? Or the whole thing just because. Line looks good and that's the only place I see it leaking from. Maybe it just wasn't seated right when the person replaced it before I bought it.
It's pretty easy to replace the copper in that end.. You could try it first I suppose, just to eliminate that possiblity, make sure it's not actually coming out of the boot on that side also. That would mean rack replacement.
2010 edge everything was fine , no noise and no steering trouble at all. all of a sudden on my return trip the noise started I get home and the resiviour was empty. Is this typically associated with a boot leak? Seems the heavy drip is above drive side control arm
Power steering system is under extreme pressure.any leak on the pressure side(,fittings,hoses) can get worse quickly. However if you have fluid leaking directly from a boot on the rack& pinion unit...usually this is a leak requiring rack replacement.
With the correct bolt and two copper washers, it is lined up top to bottom. That is the only alignment necessary..the bolt head does not have to be lined up for flow.
@@bessemer-tech5579 Thanks. I changed the pressure line on my 2007 edge. Its leaking worser then before, all on the exhaust. Its dry around the pressure hose. i'm going to use some die to pin point where its coming from. Im thinking its the rack and pinion seals. Thanks again for the reply.
@@Brownnproud91 Enough with your general advice bullshit. Certain year models use Mercon V. If Mercon LV is used in a Mercon V scenario... things will go south real quick, dumbass.
Did mine today with a long snap on 3/8 flex ratchet and a low profile 17 mm took 10 mi n to change was a 2008 model...used a dab of grease and my long skinny arm to hold washers in place

The bread tie is genius, gonna tackle mine soon. Thanks
pf33nix ha ha thanks!
This helped me decide to take it to garage....im not going to touch that!
Never knew anyone to go from above when under is so simple.
Look at the comments numbnuts, unless you had a different variation vehicle..your virtually the only one master of BS.
This may have already been said, but it only takes about 20 minutes to replace this line when you go from underneath the vehicle.
Thanks I am about to do this...

@@leelee2925 took us a few hours, so if time = money then I think $250 was worth it.

About to tackle this job on my flex … looks fun 🙄
Was this for the hi pressure or return line? Looks like fun…

This guy is hard-core..... filming in an earthquake
Is this for an AWD?
Yes
Does the small opening on the bolt and the small opening on the hose have to line up.

just use grease next time like a paste
Thanks
I decided to use turkey baster to remove the power steering fluid and added Preston’s full synthetic....it’s blue! Is that ok??
Nooo!! Ford vehicles only use mercon LV power steering.. dont use anything else..
@@Brownnproud91 really?? Prestone full synthetic bottle mentioned good for "Ford"! I really need to understand this mercon LV stuff!
@@Brownnproud91 Mercon LV or Mercon V?? Mercon LV is for new Ford transmissions.
