I'm happy to see I'm not the only one who was thinking of the same thing. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra and the high pressure hoses are garbage... I'm about to fabricate a hose out of all copper nickel tubing. Poster please be informed that you are dealing with double flares. When putting your tube in your flare bar, those little black discs are called " dies " . You use the dies to set the height of material required to flare. Then on the die, the side with the nipple goes into your tube, you use the yoke to squish it into a bubble flare. Then remove die, inspect for good symmetry then use the yoke to get your inside flare. Flare tools are very easy and clever

That accent kept me watching, about to repair mine the same way:)

Nice video very informative

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

+rocky p Thank You. I appreciate Your feedback.

[@errorcodeguy456]

Very nice work! I love how you used the copper tubing to replace the rusted out steel parts. The flared ends that go into the rubber hose is a nice touch. Just out of curiosity how is the repair holding up. Thanks again for posting your video, it helps us all.

[@slammedsedandamn8154]

[@jessefuller2012]

This poor guy needs some help lol
Luckily he's working on the low pressure side anyways.

[@mik38ailey]

Omg that flare 🤣

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok

[@crisrivaz]

Is the cooper tubing your using 3/8?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Good comment. Thanks 😁👍

[@brettcakes]

WOW.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi and Many Thanks for feedback. :-) Regards Peter

[@AwesomenessIskey]

Did you try to find aftermarket hose? How much does a repair like that usually cost?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

It cost normally 400 US $

[@itmightbeken8371]

i know for a 2005 Ford minivan the parts are $50+ not sure on labor

[@jamie128]

You might want to RUclips how to use a flaring tool

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok

[@Ray-us4pr]

The application requires double flares for starters, obviously he is unfamiliar with the tool

[@trankt54155]

How much is a new OEM or aftermarket line? Wouldn't it be better to get a new line to save time and headache? Removing and putting the line back is time consuming enough.
If I got stranded like the professor on Gilligan's Island with all the time on my hands I would do it; otherwise,,,,,,,

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Handyman do everything, and normal man looks results. ;-)

[@suprapike]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor right on. Those lines can be 100 dollars. This repair likly cost and hr of time and umder 15 bucks

[@EvendimataE]

why they crimp on some points and clamp on others....if they will make the all clamp it will be easier to repair by section....and guess what mine leaked on the crimped part which is supposed to be stronger than clamped

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for comment. :-)

[@DennisHughes]

what makes a high pressure power steering hose your working on so expensive? They are all like that A-Z . We need power steering hose reform. Vehicle MFG :-(..They have the brake Line down but not the power steering hose which is nothing at all .:-(

[@edgriswold3796]

Holly shit that's a really bad flare. Im so glad he is not ever going to work on my truck

[@groot1509]

just flare the measured length before you do any bending, and you wont puzzle yourself

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Good and Thanks Sir. :-)

[@jaykyu1]

Plumbing copper pipe do not rust. If copper and joints can withstand power steering pressures of about 1600 psi, why did car makers not use copper?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks Sir. 😁

[@MrPink2024]

*Cost!* $$$

[@trankt54155]

That is literally a hydraulic line with pressure up 4K and would be hard to fix unless you weld everything carefully and water test for leaks...

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes. Thanks for feedback. :-)

[@davidboekhout18]

1 MILLION DOLLARS!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks. :-)

[@mwhy244]

The flare is not the same as the original.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Noted

[@guesswhomartin9249]

your video, mmmmm very hard to understand what you're saying.

[@edgriswold3796]

You are better off not knowing what he is saying. Please don't do anything that he is doing

[@PrimericanIdol]

Fake accent is so annoying.
