Hey All,
Just finished up another repair with blu. First time years ago I did not have the hoses oriented properly so after a while one of the hoses rubbed through someplace on the frame(?) and exploded fluid all over the place. Big mess. Replaced that one, and been years since driving OK.
Last month the return hose blew off the pump where it is clamped on the can pipe fitting. Again fluid all over the place. Big mess again.
Since it looked like the hoses were getting hard, I replaced all of them again. I think I've got it on correctly this time.
The first set of hoses for the repair last month were off shore so I sent them back. The second set of USA hoses looked better, but the pressure hose has a longer metal pipe and it puts that hose further back and makes it crazy bending of the rubber part when moving full left/full right.
I guess we'll see how long this lasts.....thoughts?
