    Power steering hose removal help

    Trying to get them off to replace them, and they're not coming easy...

    This guy seems to think it can be done by hand... (jump to 1:53 if it doesn't do it for you)

    No luck. Sprayed it with some brake cleaner just in case there was some gunk in there.

    I was sure this would work - the pliers aren't seated on the hard line, and pressing fully with them while pushing the hose in. No job...


    I ordered the Lisle 37300 from Amazon, but they won't be here until Sunday and it doesn't look like anyone local carries it in-stock.

    I have this kit, but there's not enough space to get the tool to the fitting.

    BMW makes a special tool for those. It's a pair of pliers with U-shaped fittings on the end to squeeze the releasing part into the hose. They work like a charm.

    I've had luck using an open end wrench. Those hoses always take some effort, but I've never had one beat me yet.

    I wound up buying these, and they worked fine:
