Hose Break

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.

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.

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.

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,

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
