Hey Danny, I've just completed a V6 to 4.6l V8 swap on my 99 Mustang that I've had since new, I couldn't have done it without your helpful repair/fix videos. I know that's not the subject of your videos, but they really helped me put it all together. Thank You So Much!
Ford tech here I recommend Don’t use rtv on hydraulic lines you could get away with a little Teflon paste on the threads only. I recommend turning your steering wheel back-and-forth with the engine off always before starting it. 50 times back-and-forth is the recommended I believe. Also, they specified transmission fluid for most Ford power steering systems. If he is power steering fluid, I found you will have noise
I didn’t do what you did but I just tightened up that part on my bronco seemed loose and and added LUCAs stop leak and worked it stopped leaking thank you
Thanks you did a great job explaining it I always wondered what the little stupid o-ring comes in it was for the Teflon yes makes sense I had no idea what they put that in for
Thank you! You helped me out so much. I just replaced mine. I did not realize that line was supposed to move. I thought it was supposed to get tight like the others flared lines.
Much appreciated I was wondering about fluid rushing out of the line . I think when I do mine I’m going to try and suck a lot of fluid out of the reservoir Before I take the nut all way off
That's not a new edge. It's a SN95. 94 -98 model. More rounded body and lights New Edge 99-04 model More square or edged body as the name calls That includes lights Tip: # 187 Next time siphon the fluid out then take the line off. You'll have less drip.
very nice vid. ill be checking that area before i replace my rack and pinion. previous owner didn't take care of how high certain bumps are in my area.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage On the hard line inside the fitting. Is there a O-ring in there? I replaced the Teflon seal and used thread sealant on the high pressure line to the pump and I still have a small leak. On some hard lines there is a O-ring but not sure if there is on the new edge.
Since a preventative PS pump replacement on my 01 Cobra I've had issues with excessive pressure on the low pressure side, to the point where it can pop the lines off with sustained high RPMs. I've replaced the pump again, HP pump to hydroboost and hydroboost to rack and cleaned the reservoir with no difference. Any thoughts?
..when do you stop turning the wheels ? When the level stabilizes? I'm thinking a turkey baster may come in handy if there's excess fluid to suck out of funnel .....I'll be doing it myself so I have to error on the side of making sure I have enough fluid in the funnel that I may have some left IN the funnel once the level stabilizes, hence the turkey baster idea......probably gonna use it to suck initial fluid out of the reservoir to below line level
I believe you can also use a funnel to have some excess fluid above the level and then your Turkey baster to extract the excess. Yeah, just continue the process until it’s not drawing in any more and on the full line
Any suggestion on gaining access to the brake line fittings on the proportioning valve? Im replacing the lines that run under the radioator. Was able to remove the hard line that goes from the abs module to the driver side brake line, but having trouble getting a wrench on the 2 fittings on proportioning valve. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!
Danny, I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years now. Great content and thanks. I’m installing a new pump in a 97 cobra and every time I tighten the high pressure line to the pump the nylon seal just cuts out. Am I tightening it too tight? I’ve tried stretching out both sizes and the same things happens. How would I know when the line is tight enough if it doesn’t bottom out? What about this other grommet? Had any luck with that?
I have the same issue, but the teflon seal is only part of the problem, that connector has a rubber o-ring internally. Any idea how to change the connector without having to replace the entire hose, my hose is in good shape
Thanks for the helpful video. I am having the same problem. Looks like the internal o ring lost its strength. What kind or rubber grommet would you put in there? Any link with picture? Adding some 1 minute glue to connect the rubber with the hose for sealing you think it's a good idea? Thanks
It's actually an 11/16" nut, and it's an 3/8" AN fitting (hydraulic). I used a flare nut wrench to break it free on an F-150, as there was just enough room to get it past the square swivel, and then switched to an open end to finish. fordtechmakuloco suggests the same method of getting it on - stretching it a bit, then following it around the threads with a fingernail until it's up against the step. I'm wondering about a nut that's the same size and thread pitch as the AN size to push it on? Also, perhaps a short section of hobby brass tubing just larger than the threads to keep the threads from cutting the teflon/nylon (as happened with whoever put the one on before me)? Might try it next time I do this.
Those are not AN threads, fittings or flares. No OEM uses AN fittings on anything. A 3/8 extension has the perfect taper for the larger of the 2 ford nylon washers.
@@joshdoeseverything4575 noone seems to mention that these may have 2 sealing points..the teflon ring seals the threads but if ur leaking from the line in the center of the nut, then there may be a small oring that should be in there... Noone mentions this!
@@skip741x3having the same issue where the inlet pipe going into the flare connection is leaking. I can't find anyone mentioning replacing that o ring but my pump came with the Teflon and a smaller rubber ring. WHERE DOES THE RUBBER RING GO!?
Hi! I am wondering where I can buy the exact part you used in the video. I am having a leak from the same spot you are and am struggling to find the right part to fix it. Thank you!
Most parts stores have the kits for Ford. This is a bit overkill, but if you can’t find it this should be everything www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073WQS1VH/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=2004047-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B073WQS1VH&linkId=35d83073b83a73fd68e886fd79e94517
I have seen people add a rubber grommet that goes into the pump before the hose goes in and that seemed to solve the problem. If ours continues to leak I’ll do that as well and let you know
I’m having the same issue. I replaced the Teflon ring just how it was done in the video. The box came with that and a black O-ring. I didn’t know where the black one went so I never installed it. Now I’m thinking of putting it on and trying it out. Did y’all try that or what worked?
@@dannyjohnsonsgaragehelp, im car stupid. i have a power steering leak that seems to be dripping from under thr radiator. is That possible. ..it steers normal, ot hard to turn but it growls BAD if the steering wheel is moved slightly.. advise please..

Just fixed my 2001 Cobra, thanks to your Video!! You and your brother have taught me so much about Mustangs!! Thanks bud I appreciate it!!
Spent two days looking for a video that explains it as good as you, thanks man.

Is there an oring inside the port for high pressure line?
Much appreciated I was wondering about fluid rushing out of the line .
I think when I do mine I’m going to try and suck a lot of fluid out of the reservoir
Before I take the nut all way off
quick question,
does that hose go connected into the hydraulic brake booster ???
Thanks for all the help man ive learned so much about these new edge mustangs from your videos. appreciate it. Keep it up man👌👌👌👌
Great! Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoy them. It makes them worthwhile
That's not a new edge.
It's a SN95.
94 -98 model.
More rounded body and lights
New Edge
99-04 model
More square or edged body as the name calls
That includes lights
Tip: # 187
Next time siphon the fluid out then take the line off. You'll have less drip.
@@aLaCartePizza new edge is still SN95 🤣🤣🤣 all interior parts other than door panels fit from a 94 to 98 in a new edge

Ha ha, I like the way you described the old owner. 👍🏼
Thanks a lot Danny, the Mustang, Cobra genius
Doorman item number 82540 contains one of each power steering washer.
I have a 8 rib conversion on my 03 GT and even with the crow foot wrench it still hit the pulley. I'll have to remove it to change mine out.
Sorry to hear about the extra work, but sounds like you have a blower for the 8 rib?

Any thoughts?
Sure the lines weren’t switched? Could it be air locked?
Changed out the whole line running from pump to hydro boost, that seemed to do the trick but now it's leaking from the pump shaft itself
Awesome video, thank you for the help!
I bought a new steering pump for my 99 gt and it only came with 1 washer. Didn't know it needed 2.
Where to find where can I find that nylon washer for that high pressure line on the bottom of the power steering pump for a 2007 Ford Focus
Would this hose leak onto the headers? Or is it too low for that? I have a leak onto the driver side headers

Another solid "how to"...! Thanks, man.
do the high pressure lines run unde the radiator ? and will the leak there?
stubby wrenche with extension works

Am I tightening it too tight? I’ve tried stretching out both sizes and the same things happens. How would I know when the line is tight enough if it doesn’t bottom out? What about this other grommet? Had any luck with that?
Try it snug and check for leaks and see if it works. The line is designed to still move back and forth and appears loose when installed.
I have the same issue, but the teflon seal is only part of the problem, that connector has a rubber o-ring internally. Any idea how to change the connector without having to replace the entire hose, my hose is in good shape
You can sometimes put a small rubber grommet inside and then attach the hose. It acts as another seal
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Thanks

yea, I hate it when it goes in the tip after a fun night...
Mornings are rough.
I need help, it's dripping down the middle and the white o-ring is new and it's well on
The package came with 2 did you use the big or small? Thx
The smaller one is for the other line. I didn’t install it, but kept it for the future
Danny I have a 2001 Cobra mustang I have 4 11 gears in it how do you recalibrate the speedometer to match the 411 gear
A handheld tuner will fix it th-cam.com/video/oLa5b21Wsko/w-d-xo.html
I cant find the napa kit in this video. Is dorman 82540 the same thing?
Yes it should be the same
hey, what is the line ur fixing connected to the pump called? i can't find it
It’s usually called a high pressure power steering hose
wheris the pump located?
It's actually an 11/16" nut, and it's an 3/8" AN fitting (hydraulic). I used a flare nut wrench to break it free on an F-150, as there was just enough room to get it past the square swivel, and then switched to an open end to finish. fordtechmakuloco suggests the same method of getting it on - stretching it a bit, then following it around the threads with a fingernail until it's up against the step.

Those are not AN threads, fittings or flares. No OEM uses AN fittings on anything. A 3/8 extension has the perfect taper for the larger of the 2 ford nylon washers.
Okay man so my lines are leaking going into the rack. It’s not leaking around the threads but where the line goes into the fittings
How do I fix it?
this is my problem, and theres no way this teflon seal that goes on the outside nut will fix it

Did you take it off the jack when you put fluid and turned wheels?
No. It was on Jack stands in the air on the front while primming
Working on a 2007 ford taurus didn't put white Teflon seal on it put plumber tape on it was foaming bad I guess this is why lol thanks I appreciate
Would this be a good thing to do for a cross threaded nut
It would probably be better to re-tap the threads with a tap and die set

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Thank you for your quick reply. I appreciate all the help. If my Mustang could talk it'd say thanks.
Are two jacks necessary or can I just use one?
You’ll want to to properly bleed the system turning the wheel back and forth. You don’t want it to tip over
I changed that nylon ring and still leaking, could it be the hose?
And where does the small black one go?
I have seen people add a rubber grommet that goes into the pump before the hose goes in and that seemed to solve the problem. If ours continues to leak I’ll do that as well and let you know

Sir, have you ever pulled spark plugs out of this 4.6l dohc and witnessed the threads of every one of them dripping with oil?

A telephone is sealed in the power string of the Ford Figo Petrol
Thank you sir
Does it have to by nylon or can it be a regular rubber o ring?
I think nylon will hold up better
I have a feeling but my urge was to use a rubber o ring. I ended up getting the nylon, getting it replaced this weekend. I replaced power steering pump thanks to your video!
Nice. Thumbs up!
😊😊
This goes the same as 1994 5.0 mustang?
I assume it would be similar, but not being a modular 4.6 it may be a little different.
Didn’t fix it
