[s-cars] Hydraulic "J" hose leaking

[James Murray (QB/EMC)]

Cost is about $75, just had one rebuilt. They do excellent work, and are
very familiar with this hose. Turn around is fast too. 

Flush your system while your at it.

de-lurking here....

Yup, I blew the J-hose last night - the one from the hydraulic pump to
the accumulator.   Yup, it's the part that's $558 at the local dealer
here in Vermont.  ECS shows it at just $495.  Haven't seen it anywhere
else.

It looks like a straight forward fix, and I suspect that I'll need to
also replace any washers/o-rings as a part of it.  I checked with a
local place that rebuilds hydraulic hoses, but he doesn't think that he
has the stock and fittings on hand for this application - apparently
he's been asked to do this before, and discovered this needs to be a
hose of 2500 PSI working pressue, and he doesn't have the stock on hand
to do that.

The next alternative is sending it out to Spokane's House of Hose (as
I've researched in the archives, many folks point to them with good
results).  Anyone have an idea as to the cost?  Anything else I should
address while I'm fixing the hose? 

Thanks all,
Paul
