How do you fix a short hose without disassembling the engine?
My neighbor has an old Ford truck. There's a coolant hose between the
water pump and the intake manifold. The distance between the pump and the manifold is about two inches. But the gap between the ends of the pipes is only about 0.3". Cutting the old hose off was easy. How do you get the new hose on without taking off the water pump? Thanks, mike -- Return address is VALID but some sites block emails with links.

You could try cutting a piece just barely shorter than the old hose length. Lube the inside with soap or silicone (something that will dry after installation and not remain slippery). Push the hose as hard as you can onto one pipe, trying to somewhat compress it. Then bend the hose at 90 degrees (the hard part) and pull down on the leading edge towards the other pipe while trying to work it on with a hose removal pick or similar thin blunt tool. If you CAN get it started at all, you should be able to work the entire diameter of the hose on to the second pipe eventually without further damage. Now the answer you didn't want to hear. You should replace it while replacing the waterpump. Toyota MDT in MO |

Slicken it up good, as advised above, and place it near a heat outlet in your house--or similar. As it gets warmer, it becomes more flexible. Just get into no hurry and HAVE FAITH. It will work, as I've done it numerous times. Keep in mind that if you use worm clamps, they can be installed AFTER the little bugger is in place--unscrew a clamp all the way, wrap around installed hose, re-insert male end into female and begin screwing.

Back in the day when I worked as a mechanic, we would take a hacksaw blade
and trim each pipe so it was just as long as the width of a good quality hose clamp. Never had a callback. doug "mike" > wrote in message ... > My neighbor has an old Ford truck.

I was remembering over the weekend that they also used to sell thin
walled corrugated tubes to do exactly what the OP wants.
