Hydraulic Hose leaks

[DadsHemi]

Well…here we go again lol. I noticed some fluid on my right front Jack pad and was tracing the point of origin. It’s the crimp at the hose connection to the hard connection.

I’ve been looking at a crimp vice with a bunch of dies to re-crimp the leaking hose’s. Or can I order new hoses from Lippert or other vendor.

I had a hose maybe 7 years ago that hadn’t started leaking yet, but it was almost there. Took it off, went to an auto parts store that also made hydraulic lines and had a new one made. Super easy. They don’t use the cheap lines like Lippert does, but made it out of real higher pressure rated Gates hose. These photos are turned to the left, but this was the hose off the hydraulic pump to the manifold in the front compartment.

Thanks, I’ll see if Oreilly can make hoses
