Fluid containing hose replacement....

How hard is it (would it) be to replace all of the coolant hoses and hydraulic hoses on the motor/trans?

Thanks

Do you mean the rubber trans lines to the cooler/rad, and the engine rad hoses? Not hard, but it will involve flushing the coolant and you could change the tranny fluid while you're at it.

Re: Fluid containing hose replacement....

I just had it all taken care of and serviced but I was warned that the hoses were nearing the end of their life and starting to seep/get brittle.

So i was going to look into replacing all the rubber hoses for the spring time.
