Thanks for your reply, it's good to see someone helping out,it's too expensive for a mechanic sometimes.

Good work from France 🇫🇷. to avoid losing pressure, respect the internal diameter of the pipe.

You don't have to push really hard, back it off 1/8-1/4 of a turn when you 1st thread in the hose... it'll still compress how it should and will actually lock in with more steel threads if you were unable to do it all the way up.

Not a fan of the hoses I would try to bend and make hard lines with an fittings on the ends and use as little of the hose at the end of the hard lines as possible at least for the pressure side that goes to power steering pump and I would run a solid hardline on the return line that runs from the steering box to the hydroboost side but keep as much hardline as possible and route them as evenly as possible towards the steering box or brake side for a hydroboost set up this is what I'm planning for on my build im just here getting ideas feel like the hoses look a little on the clumsy side would rather go for a cleaner look in my opinion but I definitely like the banjo fittings at the hydroboost end

@chevecrazy454ss hard lines are nice, but they dont give you much room for error or changes. This car sees a lot parts swaps as I use it for a test mule a lot.

I have a Mercedes and the high pressure hose for my car is on endless back order. Will this work on a Benz? I have heard that the high pressure line has a plastic bag liner on the inside.

Yes, you can make your own hose!

@@Reddirtrodzthanks how can I go about finding hose like this with plastic liner inside? Or is that not necessary? I believe the plastic liner is what is causing it to fail but it lasted 140k miles.

@Dnasty1 I don't know enough about the Mercedes to say, but I am not aware of any issue with using a standard high pressure hose.

Why don’t you like compression fittings? They are quick and very reliable. Probably as equal as what you’re doing. No specialty tools know nothing I use power. Steering compression fittings. And it’s been running for more than five years.

Because they are difficult to assemble and they fail spectacularly like this one did. I prefer high-pressure fittings like the ones I used here or crimped fittings. It's a personal choice

@@Reddirtrodz the ones I use are high pressure compression fittings like I said, I’ve been using it on my car for five years and I have had no issues. No leaks nothing.

@buddyrebel_Garcia this was a high-pressure braided stainless line that was factory assembled. The fitting itself broke. I hate compression fittings to be honest, they work but they suck to put together.

@@Reddirtrodz really? I thought it was piece of cake. All I did was clean the tubing. I didn’t have to flare anything I deburred the inner. Then put the compression line and then I tighten up really good. I crushed the little thing that comes in. It was very solid. I did the same on top and to be honest with you. It’s been running for five years and no issues at all. let me give you the part number so you know what I’m talking about. I bought it at Napa auto parts. It’s like a power steering hose repair kit and the part number is PN.# PS 1000. From Napa. That’s what I used.
