[s-cars] Hydraulic "J" hose leaking

[Sean Douglas]

I just had mine rebuilt at Spokane House of Hose. Cost me $80 plus shipping.

They cut off the ends and braze on universal compression flare fittings and
re-use the internal restictor and insulation.

Don't use the o-rings they supply, buy new ones from the dealer. The o-ring
HOH supplied were too big.
