inka53 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Newbie here... Looking for tips on fixing a hose break. Seems like a simple fix. Any thoughts on how to easily remove the broken hose ends? I'm thinking about slowly, carefully cutting them off with an exacto. Also...Would a local auto parts store carry this type of hose? I noticed that its stiffer than typical. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgerock Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 That is a high pressure oil feed line to the KF pump. Think there were some threads on this exact subject. Don't cheap out and use cobbled up auto parts heater type hoses. Think the forum user was Al (bluedevils). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TobyB Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Yep, careful exacto work does it. Make sure you cut around, not along- that way, if you score the barbed fitting underneath, you won't create a path for oil to leak. It's at engine oil pressure, (not the 500 psi of the kfish) so anything nylon hydraulic will work, if you have a hydraulics place near you. Take an end, they'll know what to get you. t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginalOwner Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) I had that happen way back. The local BMW dealer wanted a million bucks, if he could even find one. So I bought a steel brake line from Pep Boys. I cut & bent it to fit. I JB Weld'ed the fittings into each end of the line. I installed it. Worked just fine for 20+ years. Picture below (red arrow). Below is a picture in my notes of the BMW part. Cheers, Carl Edited October 29, 2017 by OriginalOwner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
