New Top Hydraulics latch hoses - fit from front or rear?
As per earlier post I'm replacing my latch hoses with new ones from Top Hydraulics. Using their connector tool do I draw the new hoses thru from the front (latch end) or from the rear.
As it's a mother of a job I'd really like to do it once the right way. Thanks in advance. Jeff |
Front to back. Remember they are directional..

Remember also to relieve the pump pressure on the lift cylinders and manually raise the top about half way. That makes it a lot easier to route the new lines thru the opening to the pump.

There are several clips and 'zip-ties' located along the hose set to anchor to the body and (in some places) wire harness.
You cannot 'pull' the hose set from one end to the other!!!!!!!!!!!!! The rear seat and left front seat must be removed for access to the places where the hose set is routed. bob |
Thanks Guys. I'm aware you can't pull the new hoses all the way.
I have about 90% of the interior stripped out. Been leaving what I think might be the hardest till last - the J gate surround. Have watched Sams video. Voodoo with the credit cards. Looks tricky. Any tips gratefully received! |

bob I attached my new Top Hydraulics hoses to the factory ones at the latch. I disconnected them at the pump. They remained connected the entire time and were pulled through every inch. Now I've just got to put it all back together...:icon_clapclap: |

I'm here to tell you that you CAN actually pull the old hoses the entire way from the latch to the pump.
