I don't think much. It is a cooler hose not from a pump.

It was easy getting the line disconnected but pulling it out of the engine bay was a pain. Forget installing it back in the stock location I'm going to get a custom 200psi hose made and run it an easier way.

Here is a picture of the hose I made for $30 at car quest. I'm not sure how much the factory hose is but I'm sure I saved some money. I cut the bend out of the end that fits in the radiator so I wouldn't have to worry about twisting the hose ends to make the ends work.

Nice. Factory should have done it that way from start. Be sure to zip tie it up so it doesnt rub anywhere. Reason it broke to begin with. Dont want a repeat repair eh.

I'm going to get some rubber hose clamps so I can attach the line to a few factory bolts I saw in the engine bay. I'll post up some pictures when I'm finished. Hopefully this mite help some one in the future that mite have this problem.

You saw how much of a pain in the butt it was to get that hose out....now picture us trying to feed that thing back in there without bending it. I like your way much better.

I don't know how you guys can get that line that out with out having to unbolt the compressor or remove the motor mount besides going insane. Also the dealer quoted me $60per liter for that trans fluid, is there a cheaper alternative?

Not really unless Ken or Genius can get it. ZF picky about their fluids.
