Great job my friend. You have a very calm demeanor. I'm kind of a hyper guy so I should calm down a bit when I'm working on my vehicles. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Appreciate the video and supporting diy mechanics out there. About the factory hose clamps, please replace them. The integrity of it's strength and support were diminished as soon as it was taken off. High pressure will blow the hose off one of these days.
Nice work! At some point you should change the lower hose that connects to the power steering pump, and change the plastic power steering pulley to an aluminium one.
Thanks, congrats on being able to reuse the clamps. I'm going to get some worm screw clamps for backup. Anyone know the OD of the hoses? Roughly 1/2 or 5/8 inch? Not a big deal, but for a couple extra bucks one could use synthetic ATF.
so i replaced that same exact hose that you did, however i damaged the tubing where the unlocking mechanism side of the hose connects to. do i have to replace my radiator now?
It has a one way compression type fitting that secures as you push it in. To release it it has to be opened by pressing the end of the fitting inward. If yours slides in and out easily, check the end to be sure it is complete. Good luck. Hope that makes sense.
Is it hard to change the DISA valve? I need to check mine or to see if I need to change it cause I hear something strange on it, but I don’t want to pay for mechanic I wanna do it myself
I haven’t had to do one yet. Keep watching videos, read the service manual, and be realistic on what you have the patience to do on your own. I bet you can do it.
@@robdude1969 easy, and able to be rebuilt. There are people on the net that sell rebuild kits. Don't spend the $$$$ on a new one. My wife rebuilt hers on my work bench. She was sooo proud.!

Good tip on using a razor to remove the flashing. Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the video.
These castings are typically less than excellent. Good luck!!
Sir you are very intelligent & a good teacher, very rare. Thank you very much!
Great Video. Super helpful and straight to the point.

Awesome video! Very helpful. Overhauling my 330xi power steering system and this provided great insight! Also nice watch :)
thanks, i had no idea how those fittings worked, its good to oil the O rings before installing for future reference
thank you man for showing us!!!
Great video! Thank you. Liked and subscribed, hit the notification bell.
I hope it made your repair easy👍🏻
Power steering reservoir above the alternator. Classic engineering fail 🤦♂️
Ya that's y I have to replace my alternator from my power steering line leaking smh
Nice, thx :) hello from Poland :)
Cześć
Nice work! At some point you should change the lower hose that connects to the power steering pump, and change the plastic power steering pulley to an aluminium one.
All hoses have been replaced at this point. Thanks for the suggestion.
Agreed. I just finished doing a full replacement (pump, hoses, reservoir). Especially happy about not having to jack up the car to work underneath.
If the steering wheel reservoir ATF fluid leaks on the alternator - will it cause burning smell?
Excellent vid! Thank you!
You should to a video on how to remove the steering hose.

Very helpful one question how would I replace the line from the rack and pinion
Hats off to you for wearing a Rolex while working on your car...I can only wish to have balls as big as yours LOL
Thanks Mate! I have a few scratches to be sure!
does it needs to be bleed out after installing?
Great video! one question how did you clean the alternator? what cleaning product did you use?
Start with a degreaser like simple green and a stiff plastic brush. If that’s not effective go stronger like a foaming engine cleaner.
Did you replace the two bracket bolts for the reservoir? If so what's the torque specs?
monkey tight. not gorilla tight.

The plastic on mine snapped how do I get it out now?
Can you tell me how to get power steering hoses for my e46 vin fz92266
so i replaced that same exact hose that you did, however i damaged the tubing where the unlocking mechanism side of the hose connects to. do i have to replace my radiator now?
I broke the plastic piece on mine and don’t know what to do
Did you ever figure out what to do after you broke it mine is broken and I can’t get the hose off
14:03 so that hose is okay to be loose ? Or did you have to push it more in to click in
It has a one way compression type fitting that secures as you push it in. To release it it has to be opened by pressing the end of the fitting inward. If yours slides in and out easily, check the end to be sure it is complete. Good luck. Hope that makes sense.
With the Rolex on?
silly me.... maybe I should do a how to polish scratches out of Rolex crystal video?!? LOL.
Shows you installed ZF reservoir but never linked it in your description. how low
Don't reuse One Time factory clamps. A catastrophic failure won't be fun. S. Steel worm gear clamps work great.
Power steering banjo bolt valve causes the reservoir to throw up...delete banjo bolt valve and problem solved...
Can you explain this? I have a wierd moaning noise after replacing the pump
The placstic lock Has broke on hose what do I do now?
Mine did too did you figure it out?
same , any suggestions ?
Yeah I’m looking through the comments to figure out what to do now since the damn plastic piece broke
Consider aluminum foil over the Alternator to keep ATF out!
great tip!
I got the same problem 😅
why is the tank changed?
@@billj4137 can I clean my reservoir?

it takes like 2 minutes to do. you just need a torx set and thats it
T30 remove two torx bolts unplug the connector and pull out of the manifold.
