Proper maintenance of hose pipes and connectors is crucial to ensure their longevity. Regularly inspecting the hose for any cracks or leaks and replacing connectors if they become damaged will help prevent water wastage and ensure a steady flow of water. Storing the hose in a cool, dry place when not in use will also help prolong its lifespan.

Before installing the new power steering hose, it is important to inspect the fittings for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary. The new hose should then be connected to the fittings and secured in place using clamps or fittings. Once the new hose is installed, it is important to refill the power steering fluid reservoir and bleed the system to remove any air bubbles.
