any one have any good tips for getting this blue line into the end casing on the fitting? I'm having a hard time with it i can get it the first little bit in until it hits the threads on the inside and its just way to small i cant seem to get the threads to go around the outside of the line and catch. I've tried trimming down small amounts of the blue outer weave but still a no go. To give you an idea ive had this thing in a vice and a socket around the fitting pressing down with all my weight i just cant get it on.

bumping a old thread..anyone knows if one foot of the power steering hose is enough? found this site that sells it cheaper than summit and jegs btw http://www.anplumbing.com .

 

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee i love to fix my car for cheap

 

Nice video

 

So quick question, couldn't the earl fitting bottoming out problem be solved by using a shorter fitting like a 10mm-14mm?

 

i am going to try to get a hose made at autozone where they have it already crimped.

 

sorry to bump this but to help the bottoming out adapter in the rack problem.. this fitting is not as tall..

ill be doing is very soon and re-routing my low pressure line also, and probably install a small cooler.

 

Bumping this old thread for some questions since I need to replace my high pressure hose and will need to add a cooler. Might as well replace it all. Can someone comment on my proposed setup?

Reservoir to pump, -10AN (using PHR slim fit relocation kit)
pump to rack (high pressure) -6AN with the fittings described in this thread and appropriate line
rack return to cooler -6AN - DM has a return fitting that's supposed to work since its an odd size like 17mm
cooler to reservoir -6AN

The only link i need the 3000psi line on is the pump to rack, correct? the rest standard stainless braid will work?

 

BUMP for an answer to this?

 

also, where are you guys getting your copper crush washers? directly from toyota? do you have a part number? i can't find a proper diagram anywhere. if aftermarket, what size do we need to purchase?

 

the fittings I use came with a flat washer and oring

 

I would be suspect of a flat washer and o-ring holding up at 1400 psi. This gates hose worked for me, perfect fit and hoses clocked perfect. Sometimes you can get them at a good price slightly under $300
