Hydraulic steering hose replacement

[Stropp]

Has anyone replace their steering hoses? Pulled my motor to rechaulk the holes and accidentally kinked a hose. Assume it is going to leak.

Do you see any cracks in the sheath or worse internal liner? or leaks? Hydraulic hoses are pretty flexible even surviving a 90* bent temporarily.

Look at the stickies at the top of the forum, since there may be something there.

So far so good on the bend for a second at not quite 90. Going to run it till it bubbles if ever. Appreciate the response!!!

Keep an eye on the reservoir filler and keep the fluid at the bottom of filler plug. You will know if anything leaks if you loose fluid.

Best to you

Thank you for that tip too

Do you guys know what model helm pump you have? Do your guys power steering fluid fill from the top of the dash?

I have a procraft and mine is filled from the top of the driver console.
