Changing PS hoses

How hard is this to do? Looks like one of my hoses has been rubbing the frame and looks to be cut. I'm guessing that this is why my PS fluid will last only a week or so b4 running out...onto the ground. Anyway, anything tricky or something I need to look out for? I'm guessing O'Reilly carries these?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Changing PS hoses

you need a QUALITY line wrench (not a overseas special, they will flex and round off your fittings). A cheap open end wrench will round those fittings off too. I have gotten by with using a new MAC open ended wrench though. Yes, your lfaps has the hoses.

Thanks, Bus. How about craftsman, and what size is needed?

Re: Changing PS hoses

rascal is right on. I think my 69 had one that was 5/8 and one 11/16. The 76 donor box were both 11/16.
