Thank you for taking the time to post. That little 180 degree hose is a tough one. I just did mine yesterday on a 1997 Hardbody. I was able to get it on by removing the power steering pump and bracket. I maneuvered the hose into position with my left hand under the intake. To push the hose onto the fittings I used a short length of cotton strap, like you might find on an old backpack. I looped the strap over the middle portion of the hose and by pulling the strap with my right hand and wiggling the hose around with my left hand I managed to get it seated. Was not an easy job.
Thanks for the walk through. Just about to replace those hoses. I was hoping i could do it with out pulling the whole intake. Thought It was possible if I just pulled the power steering pump.
Your welcome. It always seems like the hardest to reach hose are the ones that need to be replaced and these are probably the hardest ones to get to on this engine lol.
