El Camino Project: How To Bend Hard Lines For A Transmission Cooler (also for brake and fuel lines!)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Automatic transmissions need to cool the fluid so it doesn't burn up. For most applications, this means running coolant lines to the radiator (or separate cooler). Instead of running rubber lines the whole way, we like to make hard lines that run along the frame and then connect to the transmission with a short section of rubber line.
Jefferson walks you through the entire process of straightening coiled hard line, flaring the ends, bending the lines to fit, and connecting all of the hoses. You can use this process for any hard line such as brake and fuel lines.

    Thanks for the video. Question, when rerouting a section of OEM pre-bent line, like for a new larger cooler that's located in a new spot, is it safe to bend that OEM hard line like you are here - all the same stuff, just use care not to kink or crimp, right? Just want to be sure that stuff doesn't split or crack, not sure how they form and harden it. Thanks.

    Yes, as long as it doesnt kink, it is OK to bend. It should not split.

    @@Reddirtrodz Thanks. Can you recommend a hand type bender for doing smaller tighter pieces? My dad had some real old small roller type benders but long gone now. Anything you can suggest would be appreciated. Will take my time, I understand no guarantees - just what you might suggest.
