[s-cars] Leaky hoses

[Doug Landaeta]

Aaron,

Btdt. Scott Mockry(sp?) has the right hose and new clamps for this. I  
can dig out the old posts later today or someone will chime in with  
part number.

Not too bad of a job with patience and creative dexterity. I cut the  
old one off claned up the area and slowly pushed/ turned the new one  
on. With right part it should see another 100k miles. Careful not to  
lean on or put too much pressure on other AC/hydraulic hoses.

If the system is empty change all plastic fittings. Rear of block hose  
fitting, thermostat housing, T-fitting also at rear. They are usually  
brittle and will give you very slow and annoying leaks. Enjoy!
