- 2000 Mercury sable power steering pressure hose repair. In this video I use a 00 beveled washer to stop a leaking power steering hose. This covers power steering hoses for 98 - 06 Mercury and ford vehicles. This repair will work on all ford power steering hoses that use the Teflon seal.
Hey just in case your still checking comments i wanted to thank you!!! again like the last guy you saved my ass a shit ton of work . The worst part is the auto guys were gonna charge my niece $500 to fix her power steering pump....THANK YOU !!!
This worked great! Thanks for saving me all of the aggravation of pulling the high pressure line. That looked like a nightmare to get to. The part number was an added bonus and made it easy to find. You rock!
Thanks for the video, fixed my 99 windstar with $2.70 and 20 minutes work, great!!!!!!
5 years later this video saved me $172. Very nice thank you! Mine is a 2000 ford Taurus 3.0 "U" fixed perfect!
Thanks you for the help. I went and got the 00 washer from Home Depot in the pluming area but I made the mistake of installing the washers with the bevel facing away from the pump. I ruined two washers then I went back to your video and this time I installed the washer the way u are showing it and it worked. Lesson learned, pay attention and follow the instructions of the pros.
Thank you mendo61 for the comment I'm glad it worked for you. Can't beat a reliable cheap fix.
+itskevnow I just sprung the same leak and ford wants to charge me 180$ for the freaking pipe D:, will try this and see what happens , thanks
+USB JACK this fix will cost you .39 cents and you avoid the difficult job to replace the hose I hope this works for you. If you have any questions or need advice let me know.
itskevnow Thumbs up buddy :)
I used this method after three days thank you
Thanks for the video. I was about to pull off the line on my friends 1999 Windstar to replace it cause it was leaking in the same place. Fixed it for 64 cents and about 30 minutes of time..
just want to say thank you a ton. I did this on my wife's 2003 Taurus, and no leaks so far, saved $100. great video
Great job Kev. I just used this on my sable, and it worked! I was a little skeptical, and that hose fitting location is a NIGHTMARE to access, W/O a proper crows foot, and it still is a PITA, but it beat removing the entire hose. Clever idea, and thanks for sharing. You deserve an award for this.
Well, the leak is fixed. Now the power assist isn't there. Fluid is top off, and drove it a little bit. Strictly manual. Wonder if the washer is blocking the hi-pres side. Great, now to pull it back out. :(
I just did it and it works like a charm!!!! Thx so much for being innovative!!!!!
Great solution. I'm going to try it on my old Ford Contour. Thanks !
Did it work?
@@juanpabloarandafonseca8194 Not at all !
Worked awesome thank you for the tip
Good to hear! That hose is hard to get out! The oring’s are the weak point, after I did this fix I never saw this customer again for a P/S leak.
This Ford design is a disgrace. It’s still being used all over Ford cars, sold in the U.K., and it still leaks where the pipe passes through the retaking bolt, and costs a fortune to replace. There is absolutely no need to incorporate an internal locking “snap ring” to prevent a new bolt being fitted.
Fortunately I accidentally found a new hose in the scrap yard for my Transit. The solution in this video is excellent.
Just FYI, ford sells a new nut and o-ring. F5RZ-3R608B, like $10 bucks. On my Lincoln continental there was port that was blocked by the washer. Anyway you can press out the leaking fitting by tightening down the fitting into the unmodified o-ring. A snap ring holds it in place. My PS pump had an O-ring in the bag that fit just fine in the groove in the fitting, I'm sure you can get one too. If not you can get the part above, screw it in almost all the way, clean up the tube and push/snap it in. If you tighten to hard against the oring you risk pushing the fitting out of the snap ring. That was my experience on the continental.
alb-You're a life saver. The same thing happened to me, and I did as you did. Thanks for responding with that fix. My car is a 2000 Merc sable, 3.0 24V
alb12345672 - I'm a little confused, does the old fitting have to be cut off or can it be "pressed off"? Not sure what you meant about tightening it onto an unmodified o-ring.
The OP says he was able to use "only" this washer, and it sealed his leak. It sealed my leak too, but blocked off a port in the original nut, so I had no power assist. Ford sells a replacement nut, with all the pertainant o-rings installed in it, that is used, once you "cut off" your leaky nut. It was mentioned by a responder down below somewhere.
I actually had it in the shop 3 days ago for a power steering leak, this repair is still sealed the new leak was coming from the high side pressure switch down behind the engine. Also I used approved power steering fluid. Thanks for asking that question.
James Symens for the nut on the hose its an 18mm. The power steering pump is 10mm
Sometimes you have to drive it to get the air out. Also make sure you turn the wheel all the way left and right stop to stop do that slowly.
Very helpful.
good job a temp fix at least besides you have to drop exhaust and sub frame
to replace pressure hose this will get you back on the road but at idle steering gets hard
best to replace nut with a new one.
Thank you this absolutely worked.
Is that 00 beveled washer a 1/2" OD or 17/32" OD 3/8" OD 1/4" OD I like to try that on a 1995 Crown Victoria
Do not refrain from using a baster(used in baking a turkey) with a hose attached to it.If you don't fluid goes all over the environment below it.
Learned this the hard way.
If it leaks again,try tightening it a bit more.
Just want to say awsome repair, it worked for me on 1999 Ford Windstar 3.8, I got the double zero beveled washer from Home Depot.. Do you happen to know anything about leaks coming from passenger side ? I don't know the name of the arm? But it has a boot that when turning the steering wheel it is leaking all my power steering fluid?????
Joe L Gomez jr that’s the inner tie rod, you either have to get a repair kit for the rack and pinion or replace the rack.
@@itskevnow that is what I came up with myself "inner tie rod" after resurching it.. I'm no mechanic but i have been doing my own work on my card an for the most part utube is a bigg help. Thanks for your help
Tried this on a 2005 ford freestyle but couldn't get it to work.
Tried two different washers each time beveled them slightly different.
Sure wished it would have worked for me since the cheapest line I could find was 200 bucks.
Deff worth a shot though for the price of a washer.
Hey Kev mine was an 02 merc sable
Going to be trying this on a V8 conti in a day or so. Replaced a leaking pump(from the weep hole), had stop leak in leaky pump, now the fitting on the pump leaks down the tube. I bet taking it off destroyed the crappy internal o-rings, or the stop leak masked it. Hoses are cheap but there are two - if I replace the pump hose I'll probably destroy the seal in the second hose. Only way to get out the second hose is to drop the engine and subframe :(.
Okay thanks. I will try this asap.
That’s a pressure hose, right? Can you explain how the beveled washer stops the leak where the hose meets the nut? I’m confused
Did you get the 00 beveled washers from home depot? I'm working on this as we speak
Thank you for the comment! I have seen this car for other repairs, but this leak is still sealed also.
great vid... gonna save me $ and stress.. what size drill bit?
Thanks for the. Tip bro
My 2000 sables steering wheel gets really stiff when I turn while parked or going very slow turns. When I turn off the engine, power steering fluid shoots out the cap. I NEED HELP PLEASE.
You have air in your power steering system somewhere that usually happens because you have a leak somewhere. A lot of times the leak is at that hose connection that you see me repair in this video when you put power steering fluid in your reservoir turn your steering wheel slowly from left to right make sure you turn your steering wheel as far left and as far right as you can you will see air bubbles in your reservoir that's the air coming, you have to get all the air out. Let me know if this helps
Hey there. What took did you use to tighten the hose to the pump
A short wrench
where can i find this black sealing you show and the white ring who shall be on the hose connection?
This is a long shot, but how long did the repair last? I currently have the exact same issue with a 99.
i want to try this repair on my ford focus. but the placement of the bevelled washer looks like its going to cover two ports that are in the threads of the pump. does anyone know what those ports are for? and if its ok that they could be blocked by the new washer?
Kaylen Lopez if you cover the port it won't leak,but you won't have power steering either. I bought the whole line and cut the fitting off and used high pressure hose
This is great! I will try this tomorrow. Do you happen to have any instructional material on how to remove the power steering pump?
Juan Fuentes I don't have a video on removing the power steering pump, you need to move the coolant reservoir and the power steering reservoir. you can access the mounting bolts for the pump through the holes in the pulley. also remove the supply hose coming from the reservoir to the pump. once you have done that you can turn the pump to access the pressure hose with an 18mm wrench. I hope this helps.
itskevnow Thanks for the reply Kev! This is great help.
Juan let me know how it works for you.
Yeah this guy cut scene I really did not see no result. Maybe the pump blew up later on
What is the size of that flare nut
Kevin, our cars are exact, and the washer (although it quit leaking) prevented oil from flowing through the nut. Which meant...no power assist. I had to re-do the whole job, remove the washer, and install a Ford replacement nut (sealed fitting) as alb12345672 described below in this column. Don't know how or why your steering wasn't affected by your washer.
joe quinlan sorry to hear that, I have not had a leak since doing this repair!
As I said, it didn't leak, but the washer covered a small port located "off-center, inside the pumps port. The passageway is actually drilled where the threads are. Weird. It prevented oil from flowing inside there. I don't understand why yours wasn't blocked also, preventing power assist.
How did you take off the old nut?
Yes
is this same as Ford Taurus 2000
I was wondering what size drill bit was that you used? Is the leak still sealed?
I think it was a 1/8 drill bit. Yes it is still sealed the car was here for service about 4 months ago.
Did not work for me. Seem like a good fit, seemed like a good plan but leaked and now it's shot I have to replace it can't avoid it.
Dirty Abner well guess you need to go find a professional! Lots of people have done this and it has worked! Not everyone is mechanically inclines!
@@itskevnow ya thanks for the insult ...I am plenty mechanically inclined no need to be an asshole about it...I am only replying with my results....it did not work on my pump and hose
how tight did you make the fitting onto the 00 rubber washer? Great idea, going to try it.
+001cdc don't crank it to much, get it snug and give it about another half turn.
Thanks, I just finished the whole job on a 98 Ford Taurus 3.0 duratec DOHC with the same engine. The seal I used was neoprene, which became elastic after the seal heated up, (Tiny air bubbles were apparent in the reservoir.) I tightened the hose nut with an 11/16 wrench that I had filed down until it was a nice fit over the hose end. (after I installed the unit i needed a stubby wrench to fit between the wiring assembly and the compression nut.) The leaking stopped after the power steering pump was changed out.
did it correctly power steering goes in/out does not work lol
I did same myself,and it stopped leaking for a few days,...
Then it started leaking again
I'm Not clear on need for a drill.
should the oo beveled washer fit loose
I have not had a problem with the beveled washer, you just have to make sure you drill the flat side of the beveled washer for the beveled side of the hose to fit in it.
K thanks I don't see it leaking still making noise I think I still have to much air in lines maybe
I tried it and it didn't leak,but had no power steering. So I bought the line cut it off and put a high pressure hose on it
its called a faucet washer not a double washer
It called a double bevel washer!
Kaylen could you email me a picture of the port your talking about. Enginuityautorepair@gmail.com
