Scotty Kilmer thanks a ton the Amazon links made my life so much easier
Scotty Kilmer Scotty I'm having trouble getting the pressure hose to thread back into the rack it's a new one I bought because the old one was leaking but no matter how I try by hand I cannot get it to catch any tips on what I should do
Scotty Kilmer but what if the power steering fluids full? I get a groan and stiff turning when the car warms up i change the pump,belt and fluid and that did not help

I like all of your work. Some I already knew, your vids reinforced that. Always check you out when undertaking a task. Peace.
Why is it so hard to find honest mechanics like this guy.

Short, sweet, to the point, superb editing, great pace and no unecessary fluff or chatter...this was awesome.
Well i replaced a power steering hose on my 92 camaro and it still leaks, then watched this video as your my go to guide, heard that u said "power steering hoses can use up to 1500 pounds of torque" went back and tightened that hose even more, and sure enough ur videos helped another in need scotty, i had no idea the hose had to be so tight! thanks for all of your wisdom!!
He said the hydraulic pressure in the system could be up to 1500 pounds per square inch. 1500 pounds of torque would require a very long torque wrench or a mechanic named Chuck Norris.
From the Plews & Edelmann instruction sheet that came with my hoses: "Ford P/S hoses use a "swivel O-ring" fitting on the tube ends. When installed properly, these are designed to allow the steel tube to move freely in the fitting. The nuts should only be torqued to 10-20 ft.-lbs. NO TIGHTER."
I'll try this.
You're my freaking favorite from the simple steps to the goofy intro to the thorough explanation I love you!
This is what a repair video should be. Clear & concise. Well done.
Holy crap Scotty I've been subscribed to you for a year now just because I liked your style, now that I needed help replacing my power steering hose on my E430 your video was the first that popped up haha. Thanks! you saved me $300
how much is the hose???
$300?! They want $800 to do mine! Must be that you're-a-chick-so-we-charge you-more phenomenon.
Had this exact problem this week, sadly looked now on UA-cam & this shows EXACTLY what I should have done. Now awaiting (dreading) the garage repair expense! ---- thanks
Like your videos. Straight to the point and short.
Scott, you have helped me so much over the last 5 years since finding you with all of your videos! Thank You!!!
Whoa thanks so much for this! I was really struggling with the bottom bolt and thought I wouldn't be able to fix it, but then you cleverly suggested taking off the wheel. So much easier! Thanks again!
Glad I found this video earlier today. I found out the hard way that you can't splice this hose. :/ What a mess. Well, that's one way to learn. When I heard you say '1500 lbs of pressure', I realized that there was no way splicing would work no matter how well it was clamped. Got my proper part and I'm all set to go in the morning. Thanks Scotty!
first, I would not use a rebuilt pump which is generally all auto zones sell. I only use brand new ones
Where did you buy your brand new pumps scotty? I bought mines from auto zone and it may not be a new one 😥
Should you always use brand new ones? Have you had many problems with used ones?
@@hakeemfb3 O'Reilly's sale brand new ones for my vehicle
getting those lines off can be a cow. I use crow foot wrenches, and if that doesn't work, I cut em off with a hacksaw then a socket and wrench easily fits on, you're throwing the old hose away anyway
You have been pivotal for my DIY journey since you started your channel. I went from a nurse that relied on someone else to do the work to being self sufficient. You have a patreon or something that I can contribute to? It's the least I can do for the thousands you saved me by not only doing everything myself, but by doing it right the first time EVERY SINGLE TIME
just keep watching the ads, I get paid a nickel every time someone watches the ad. that keeps me happy. But, same process replacing the hose, it can be hard to get it off the pump but if you use a cheater bar and a long extension with socket, it will come loose
You have been turning me into a mercedes mechanic. Thanks for all the good information.

That's why I wear gloves, saves my hands. and I'd rather work with machines than people any day.
Yes indeed Scotty.😂
Blew my power steering line on the way home. Tried to keep fluid in the resivior. Didn't happen. Drove it home anyway. Pump didn't scream so i think i got lucky and got home without burning it up. So gonna be replacing it tomorrow! 93 240sx s13 Hatch! Good vid keep it up!
I love your energy, always had. Thanks for this helpful video. Godsend!
It's often very hard to align those bolts, period. sometimes takes me hours, just the nature of the beast. Good Luck
I've had really good luck with AT 205 reseal for small leaks on those. But do put UV leak dye into the system, often the seals go bad on the stupid reservoirs where they snap in, check that first.
you are just amazing. The shop that i went to, asked 250$ for labour, can't believe I almost got duped. Thanks Scotty appreciate it !
This guy has saved me so much money I love him.
Bless his soul for even taking time out your day to post helpful videos and all your videos you helped me which my mechanic couldn't smh.
Thank you scotty now i know what my issue is the power steering leak and bank 1 o2 sensor to switch out
Hi, Scotty! very helpful info with clear, short and sweet vocal. you are doing some kind of social work to the people living all round the globe. Hence, you deserve to receive the Nobel prize..man! Your sharing on various auto techniques really helped me to save lots of money. Guess..how much money altogether might have saved by the people around the world by now? I'm writing this from 1000 of miles away, Nepal. Thank you anyway...
Scotty after every sentence 😐
I drove my car today to my local auto repair,I didn't realize there was a leak until my car's steering wheel got stiffer and harder to turn.the good thing that I drove the car to the auto repair before the power steering system completely breaksdown.Thank You for this video Scotty.
Yeah, I bought an OK Cavalier and It needs work. I have a fender ready to be installed and a leaking power steering hose. With this video, I can do the job myself. Thanks man, I appreciate your work and demonstration. Saving money especially in hard times like these is a necessity.
@fatbradlehs Tons of things can cause chirping and creaking. Check EVERY single rubber bushing on the suspension, and also check all the struts, the strut mounts, and the strut springs for that noise. If you spray WD 40 on a worn part, it may quiet down for a while. I use that for diagnostics all the time. Scotty Kilmer
Great video, it's awesome that you do all of this as a hobby and not as a service.
I have a 98 lexus es 300 and my powersteering high pressure hose has been leaking for quite a while. I've honestly just been pouring ATF through it for the longest time but the leak is obviously getting worse and I finally need to fix it. Is the process the same as in this video?
Another great video, Scotty. Keep 'em coming!
Unfortunately, I hit a big roadblock doing this on my '95 Grand Am. It didn't have a banjo fitting going to the steering box. It had a flare nut, instead. After buying an 18mm flare nut wrench, I discovered that there isn't enough clearance around the nut for this wrench end to fit, which is a huge problem and an absurdly poor design by GM, in my opinion. So, you have to risk it with an open 18mm wrench, and hope you don't round it off. Well, the nut on my 20 year old car was seized on tight. After a prolonged attempt to get it off, I thought I finally felt it break free. But, it was just the flats rounding off. I couldn't believe it. Total disaster.
The nut is so close to the engine compartment that I doubt it could be socketed, even if I cut the steel line.
What a mess.
Good luck to everyone
damn bro.
Was gonna change the hose on my E430 and couldnt get to it. And found no videos or help to be able to reach it at the bottom. And then found this video. Life saver! :D
That was an impressive pour!@1:59
That's what's up Scotty
Thanks I needed this video. A mechanic said I need a steering rack but hopefully I just need a hose replacement.
You're one of the few people who know how to teach others how do things.
I know exactly what to do just by watching this quick and easy video. thanks
my hose on my Oldsmobile alero is leaking where it connects to pump any suggestions
Outside of tightening, $5 of Power Steering leak fixer, power steering WITH "Stop Leak", or ultimately a new hose (usually not more than $100, mine is $20) and see if the threading on the pump is still any good. Unfortunately, if the threading on the pump is 'done for', you'll have to replace the whole pump which will be a bit more costly but around $100 for you to do it yourself
Scotty, isn't power steering fluid just brake fluid?
+ktrez2000 Hell no! I knew someone who put brake fluid in his Lancia. He needed a new pump. You can mostly use ATF, but better check it before you put it in.
Depends on your car... Not brake fluid. My Toyota used automatic transmission fluid, my Honda uses Honda power steering fluid only. Check your users manual
i had a car that used 80w90 gear oil and previous owners had been putting in power steer fluid, probably dex III
ktrez2000 no, some vehicles use ATF. Check the owners manual.
My Corolla does not use Power Steering Fluid. Has to be Dextron Ii or III.
Thanks Scotty! this video was really helpful for a first timer dealing with this issue.

unghhh!
This is weird because I just fixed a power steering leak in my Merc ML430 yesterday, then I stumble on this when I am looking at Hand Warmer videos. I think I Googled "using ATF for power steering". So I assume the browser 'shaped' my suggested videos, but how the heck did it know I was also working on a Merc? Perhaps that part was just co-incidence. Anyway, I got lucky and it was just a loose clamp (brought the vehicle in from Japan and it turns out they were all loose), but in the meantime happy to have discovered this channel as a resource for solving my future problems.
First time I saw a video was this one, you explain things very well and quickly, good job keep up the good work!
@1person89 I don't have a pit. But power steering uses 1600 psi pressure, and no sealer will stop that in a hose leak. Scotty
Thank you so much. I have watched your videos for years. And I really dont watch others. Your amazing
Scotty you’re a true hero your videos are appreciated
Single mother working on my own truck thank you Scotty ur a big help
Thank you so much Mr. Kilmer; we are learning a lot from you. Priceless!
@X2N18 go ahead and change the gaskets and filter and be sure to put a little sealer on the gaskets before you install it. Scotty
Scotty is the man.
This video was really direct and descriptive. Nice video :D
Thank you Scotty for sharing....... This is why I stick to a Chevrolet as my late father said you can never go wrong with a Chevrolet .
Scotty For President ! No Billionaires, No politicians ! CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT HE'D DO IN HIS 1ST YEAR TO THE BELTWAY !! ?
Nobody does videos like you thank you for your videos keep them coming
Scotty, I love you videos.
Thanks for the ups on that place. I'll try to grab a new one from the dealership. Your video was very informational and helpful. After taking my bad pump off, I was able to install the broken refurbished pump with minor confusion and take it off with no problem after it also leaked, except that tiny spot where there was one screw that took 10 minutes to take out. Thanks a lot. Now I know where to look when I have another car issue!!
@naylornation It the power steering high pressure hose. And all cars are pretty much the same, only the location of the hoses changes. Scotty
@scottykilmer I managed to get that flare nut most of the way in. I had to get some rubber dish washing gloves to tighten it by hand. Steel part of the pressure line has to intertwine with other parts of the line to keep them in place. Thanks again!
your a lifesaver scotty
thank you Scotty! I started the engine and found out that the dust shield is ok. One of the metal pipes maybe is damaged, cause after starting the engine it started to leak, drop after drop somewhere fromthis pipe and was going own to the boot. I guess i should take out the whole rack and change the pipe. If you have some video reg this, it wpuld be awesome. Anyway, thanks a lot one more time!
Scotty Kilmer Rocks.
@rangelsB6 special high pressure hose, 1600 plus psi in those babies. Scotty
I'm attending the Scotty Kilmer Auto College via youtube....and getting smart by the minute.
Thanks Scotty, I gotta go this job very soon, but I gotta change the low presure hose between the reservior and the pump, but i guess the bleeding method is the same?
I like you presenting and tuturing skills, its straight to the point, simple to understand and you have a lot of enthusiasm in your voice (keeps people glued to video, instead of mind wondering off).... enough of the compliments your gonna hate me now, I'm sorry but somthing about you reminds me of Joe Pesci, but he's cool! lol
AHA! 1:32 had the answer I've been scouring the web for, WHERE to put that darn o-ring! Thanks Scotty, saved my project yet again!
WOW this my favorite car video of all time lol my pressure line hose went bad in my E320 so I was looking for a video to help and not only was this enjoyable it was helpful
@flyerholland Normally electronic power steering systems only use electronic motors, so they are different. Scotty
Helicopter pilot?
Always great videos. Thanks.
If you buy em from honda dealers, they will fit. Any other maker they are often cheaply made and just don't fit right. I see that myself all the time, and just pay more for the right ones in the first place.
Scotty, great video as you always do! This one is even better as it's, short, sweet and simple.
Learned alot from this fella
my car steering been making sound as well and the oil steering hose is oily. I believe since the hose leak, it is loosing pressure. now I know what to do. Thanks.
Scotty, you need to wear that fighter pilots helmet when you're riding that bike! Its awesome! Great video it helps me with my PS leak
@CumminsFanatic57 no idea on sizes, I just get my wrenches and sockets in trays and try until I find the right one even myself. But the lines going into the cooler have special tools to remove them and pop em out, any auto parts store can sell you that.
Would you do the same thing with a Grand am 2001 power steering hose? If not, do you have any ideas on how to get the hose off? It's a super tight area.
never seen anyone with so much swag in my life
Hi Scotty,
As one videographer mechanic to another, I will tell you that I like your style. Great energy and easy to see what you are referring to.
So, I had this unlocated leak in my E320's power steering for a few months and I was trying to get it to just magically stop with Lucas Power Steering stop leak. They make good stuff, but let me tell you that Mercerdes does NOT like it at all. Steering is hard as rock to turn until car warms up now. I have to break it down and find the source
@Mich363 na, lines that old are just rotten. scotty
@PureShotGolf Yes, same basic process, only the location of the hold down bolts differ. Scotty
could be the alarm, only a real nissan pro mechanic will be able to fix it if that's the case. But, try my video "fixing a car that cranks but doesn't start up" to see if it's any of those more common problems.
Excellent and informative!
Just watched a video and the dude kept telling the driver to turn back and forth to bleed it but at the end of the video I noticed the car wasn't jacked up and first thing I thought to myself was I wonder if the car should be up in the air to keep the strain off of the pump until you got it bled. I just saw that my mind was telling me the right thing by hearing him say with the car jacked up so thanks
What a bad ass... also really informative. Except I didn't have as much trouble getting to the power-steering rack thankfully.
Skotty makes it look so easy
Ha ha ha
Thanks man
Do we leave cap off or on while we trn wheel to release air?
@Anna106 On those, it's almost always the high side pressure hose leaking. Price around, cause parts and labor vary widely. Scotty
My rubber hose fell off my Pontiac sunfire and was seeping all over my driveway. I'm guessing the cold weather thickened the fluid up too much and shot it off.. Anyways, I replaced the old weather abused hose with a new one and slipped some hose clamps on there and done! Now I can drive again!
@Smashmouthj yes, they can be cows to get on. You have to start the threads. I would try putting the top side on first, then put the bottom on in your case, so remove the bottom and start over. Scotty
Dude, your the man! Saved me some money and your airborne! (82nd here) thanks for the vid bro
When your videos help a girl fix a car, you know your awesome 💯ty Scotty 🥰
@dexdrums In most cases they just work fine doing the processes in the video of turning the wheels to get the fluid flowing. Scotty
Thank you. I'll see what I can find. Do you have any advice about using stop leak additives?
@MrLALO805 If you're talking about your drive shaft, either grease is coming out of it and it needs new joints, OR the transmission seal is leaking from the transmission and then dripping over the drive shaft. Scotty Kilmer
@Matthew55904 All power steering systems have reservoirs, some are built into the pump itself, and some are remotely located with a hose that goes to the pump from the reservoir. Just look closer or go to any auto parts store and they can show you. The H AC line is the high line, you want the low pressure line, it's always the thicker line and it goes between the compressor and the evaporator at the firewall. Scotty Kilmer
@chem2316 just loosen the hose and let it drip in a pan. And yes, removing the tire gives more access room to get the nuts loose. Scotty
@KarenandRyder Yes, they are stinkers, I just cut the old one off the hose, and then hook up an air tool to whack the bolt off. You could also cut the hose portion and use a long extension and a big cheater bar, it would also work. Scotty
Kept showing your beautiful videos, outstanding
Hi Mr. Kilmer, I was wondering if you would have some knowledge of how to remove power steering lines from the pump to the steering rack on a 2003 Cheverolet Blazer
all auto parts stores sell uv leak lights
