Well, Today was a nice day so I figured I would try and fix all the leaks on the PT. I found one big one, from the Pump to the left rear wheel motor. I found the adapter connection was loose. The connection from the adapter to the hose was so tight I could not budge it. As I followed the hose with my hand I came across a serious abbrassion, with the steel covering poking out. When I tried to wrench the hose loose, I heard a crack. And yes, lucky me, I broke the hose at the abbrassion.
So, It is spagetti central in the engine compartment. My one great fear of two great fears has come true, a major hose has ruptured and is buried at the bottom of the pan.
Anyway. My question is how do you release the hose from the motor? I don't have a clue what kind of wrench to get in there? I am thinking maybe a crows foot. Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to drop the motor but if I have to I will...
My second fear may be coming true shortly. I think I may have a leak in the tunnel. I don't know how you run a new hose through that mess.
