Thanks guys, yes, I will hopefully get to it this winter, need to get to a couple of other things first, then the hoses. Just did the caps and rotors, need to still do the spark plugs, and I can cross off one more thing on the list. Baby steps.

Ok, all, A little update.... I have since removed the hose, and it had a small hole in the back part by the metal hose, so I ordered a new hose from the dealer, it has been almost 2 weeks now and still no hose! This is killing me, I need to finish the job and move on. I got a new one because the hose place I went to said that they could not redo it. On the way home yesterday though I saw another place that advertizes that they rebuild and I will stop today and see if thay can do it.

My leak is via hose #6. I have a replacement flex hose coming from 928Intl, which looks to have a screw ferrule/nut on either end (via the part picture). Does the metal line also have a screw fitting? I don't see how to grab onto the metal line for screwing/unscrewing into the flex hose ferrule. If the metal line does not screw into the flex hose ferrule, can it be hose clamped? Or must it be crimped?

for all of you leaky hosers just remove the lines that are wet and go to a hose shop they will after you tell them what the hose is carrying replace the old hoses and recrimps new lines to you old fittings, in most cases the whole set of l;ines can be refitted for the cost of one factory line. Its really easy to do it just takes a bit of leg work. So the lines that you should have re done are
the oil cooler lines 2
The fuel lines 4
ATF cooler lines 3
the power stering lines and resivour should both be replaced if they are wet the longer line is a curved factory line and the shorter line can be procured from the hose shop cut off the short hose crimp with a dremel same for 2 of the ATF lines

See another post on this item . Seems that on the 4 speeds, the cooler hoses are crimped to the steel lines, but on 3 speeds the hoses unbolt from the steel line and are easily replacable, which is what I am doing now. As i found with replacing the steel fuel lines, getting the whole line out is a real PITA, and back in even worse.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I found it while trying to figure out how to fix my own ATF leak. It's leaking out of the #5 hose, but I have no idea where to buy a replacement. Can anybody post the part number for me, and maybe recommend a trustable vendor? thankyou!

Or, take the hose out and have a new one made at a local hydraulic shop. Just tell them what kind of fluid it is carrying. Have them use your old ends.

Making that statement, you will have a bunch of people going out to the hose places and getting frustrated.

I recently had a hose shop do my ATF lines - quick couple hour turnaround and maybe $100 total. I was very happy with the results.
It may be a bit much to expect a warranty for odds and ends work like this. Just ask around to see who is good at this... the good shops usually value their reputation and do quality work.

It just ISN'T that easy. All these "hose" places all say exactly the same thing - we don't have the ferules or we will have to weld this or weld that and it will be 100s and 100s of dollars. Then when you press, they just say "I won't warranty it"

In San Diego, where I lived recently, you can get almost anything done, the reputable shops will not touch it - others will weld, this or that and screw it up- as Brendan (BC) says.
In the long run, buy a replacement from Roger or Mark, I did, and it saved a lot of running around, trial and error installation.

I had a hose shop in Boise do the my oil cooler lines for $17, maybe 7 years ago. They had a lot of brand dune buggy experience and didn't bat an eye when I brought them in. Never mentioned where they came from, and they didn't ask!

I have one more place like that to try, but everywhere else has dried up. And its never been that cheap.
