hydraulic hoses

[Tez]

how easy is it to remove the hydraulic hoses so i can replace them, with the engine in situ? and what would i need to do??

You can get them in and out with the motor in the car.  Where they connect to the trans is a bit of a squeeze, but, I've done it.  Pay CLOSE attention to the washers, so you know which order to reinstall them in.

Hi,
Mark the hoses with a white marker paint pen so You know which hoses go where...
You can have new hoses made up with the ends crimped on...
the hose ends on the banjo fittings need good quality hose clamps.
the pipe pieces were made so the oil could be cooled when the car was being driven, so I wouldn't replace them with hose...
although the air behind the engine would be hot air???  IMHO..

Maybe someone on here has got all hose and no pipes???

the pressure in the ATF system is 52.6 PSI... maximum...

You will get many years service out of good hydraulic hose...

cheers
