Did not see hose fab referenced anywhere else...
Have 2 325's, both have leaky racks and hoses. Have purchased seal kit, boot kit, etc. to rebuild one rack, trying to find a used rack, decent condition to rebuild in the $50 range. Will be guinea pig. Get it done, swap in, and cross fingers.
I did pull res on one, cleaned, reinstalled, new hose clamps on supply and return lines, eliminated 2 small leaks!
Waiting to redo racks...when I pull it, will be replacing oil pan gaskets.
So, onto questions...
1) Has anyone had hoses fabricated? Local hydraulic fitting shop should be able to make me new ones if I take in old ones...Same bends on hard parts, same or higher ratings on soft parts.
2) Dex III for PS fluid?(seen a thread say NEVER use fluid labeled "PS Fluid")
3) Best oil pan gasket? Dealership sold me a real thin cork one. Aftermarket one I got is rubber?
4) Use RTV or variant on pan?
5) Replace oil pump while I am in there?
Thanks
