reelhooked Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm looking to replace the hydraulic hoses on my 2006 Pathfinder TE due to some chaffing. It's hard to measure the exact length of the existing hoses while installed. I would appreciate any feed back regarding the appropriate length, as I'm sure some other members must have replaced steering hoses in the past. Looking forward to feedback from the forum.

jim33042 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 No responses? I did a replacement on a Grady some yrs back with the same issue. I followed the general path with a tape measure and added an extra foot. I was able to go online a purchase quality lines at a reasonable price (and I had. No local option at the time). You can hook the old to new and pull through. I had a runner line already in place and used it, but there were some places were it required a helpful hand to pull back when the line was hung up and slowly moving back and forth I was able to make it through. If your boat will be down for sometime, you can also disconnect one, tie a runner line to it and pull it through - measure and purchase for replacement.

reelhooked Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Skip and Jim33042. Thank you for your responses. Now that I know the OEM hose length is 18' I can order replacement parts with confidence. reelhooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
