I have a crack in the rubber hose going from the bulkhead metal hose to the piston. How do I get the rubber hoses out? Not much room for a wrench. Drop the axle? Pull the piston?
yea i know this thread is almost 7 years old...but this info may help the next guy.
i just did it...not that hard. Remove or loosen the flare nut and loosen the retainer nut on the adapter fitting where it passes through the frame. This will allow the hose to swivel as neither end is a swivel fitting. Now get a wrench on the hose where it terminates into the steering cylinder and the entire hose should rotate allowing you to remove it from underneath after completely removing the retainer nut at the frame member. I think it's easier to do this with the cylinder in place.
