Thank you man. I have to do this tomorrow and the first video was just film of a guy doing it. ????? You’re detailed explanations are invaluable. You’re a good teacher. Im a great handyman and can fix anything but im a piss poor teacher. I have done a great disservice to the young men that have worked with me. If they have picked anything up watching me then the credit is all theirs. I guess what im saying is that your skills in relating what you know is as important as what you know. Maybe more. So not just thanks for the info. Thanks on behalf of everyone who will benefit from your ability to pass it on. That’s a whole nuther level of skill. 👍

Thank you so much for this video! It was immensely helpful. I had to cut the old power steering line too and I never would have thought to use that tool. It was a fun process; thank you for the valuable guidance.

Glad to hear it went well for you. Cutting it is the easiest way I think. Thanks for watching!

I just did this on a 2009. It was a PITA. I used his tool set up. Worst part is getting the new flare nut started and hoping you don't have it cross threaded. Once you get the threads started, remount the bracket while the hard line is still loose. I had to remove the pressure switch to allow clearance for the flare nut to line up true. Then i reinstalled the pressure switch. Such a PITA.

I agree with everything you said, there are bigger jobs I would rather do, if you don't have a lift like almost everybody, you have to lay on the ground under the thing, get oil all over your arms since it's probably leaking oil and definitely leaking power steering fluid. Thanks for watching!

@@RiggsGarage i accidentally laid my head in power steering fluid while under the car 🙄. 2 trips to harbor freight cause i didn't have the right tools available, and i also screwed around with removing the air box/throttle body hose to try to come in from the top. Waste of time. Honestly, if i had to do the job again, it would probably take 30 mins to an hour. Your vid helped a lot. Thanks a million!

Thank you! Had to cut the line to get a socket on it. Not sure how long it would have taken to try that. PITA to get to either way, and power steering fluid everywhere.

Excellent. I did this once but the clearance under the van is a killer.

@RiggsGarage 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, That clearance makes what seems an easy job much more cumbersome (and likely dirty since there's probably power steering fluid everywhere)

Yep, you also decided to just cut the metal pipe part of the line. (I just did this replacement last week) I used a mini stick-style hacksaw. Also, that lower clip, that holds the rubber bushing, you can just bend it up slightly to remove the bushing.

@@RiggsGarage Done. It wasn't too bad. I started the day at Harbor Freight getting a set of metric Crowsfoot wrenches, which worked. I was able to reach the flare nut from above with both hands which helped. (I have long arms). I did it in my driveway with jackstands and bolting the line from the bottom was tough but doable. I used an awl to line up the hole since I couldn't see it. I also took my chances with the cheaper (by highly rated) part from amazon. I got the Sunsong 3401200 part which was a few bucks more than the one you got, but still cheap. So far so good. I will update here if it fails.

THanks for the video. I wish I watch your video before starting the project. It took me 3 hrs trying to get the nut loosening with regular wrench. For the sensor's o-ring, can you order from Honda dealer? Does the one you bought from Amazon fit well ((any leak now?)?When you tighten the flare nut with the crow feet tool, how tight should you do? Can you do it with the crow feet set?

@RiggsGarage 2 жыл бұрын

You can use any o-ring that fits, no leaks for us. I have an o-ring kit that is metric and found one in there I believe. Tighten the flare tight, I don't have a specific torque specification but if you don't get it tight enough it will leak and you will know. Just be careful not to round off the fitting. I would use a flare wrench not the crow feet.

@paulng2455 2 жыл бұрын

@@RiggsGarage I have problem threading the flare nut in using the hand as you recommend. I was able to thread in about 1/2 to 1 turn and it get tight that I cannot thread further with my hand. I then ried to use the crow feet with my hand for more leverage but it falls off the thread or too tight that I don't want to force it. Maybe I didn't align correctly despite made different small adjustments. Any tips for aligning? In your video, you use the crow feet to tighten the flare nut. Why do you recommend the flare wrench? The flare wrench is difficult and not much room to use.

@RiggsGarage 2 жыл бұрын

@@paulng2455 The line with the flare has to be a line perfectly for the threads to match, That's why it's not going in easily, definitely do not try to force it or there will be cross threads

Don’t know if you still look at this video but what would cause a massive leak where the flare screw goes at the bottom? Bought a new line and just leaked everywhere

@RiggsGarage 3 ай бұрын

Hey there I check it all the time. Yeah if the female side of the flare did not seat perfectly square against the male side, then it would not seal and it would leak like crazy. I would take it apart and look at both ends of the flare fittings and make sure they aren't distorted. If they are you will need to re-flare or get a new hose unfortunately. But check it and make sure it's all good.
