0:00 In this video, I will show you how to bend rubber hoses using a tubing bender and a heat gun to shape them to match the OEM hoses on a Nissan 240sx. This is a great way to save money on replacement hoses, and it's also a fun and rewarding project to do yourself.
6:45 The fun begins. The first step is to gather your tools. You will need a spring tubing bender, a heat gun, a pair of safety glasses, and a pair of gloves. You may also want to have a bucket of water on hand to cool the hoses down after you bend them.
Next, you need to choose the right size tubing bender for the hoses you are working with. The tubing bender should be about that is the same size as the inside diameter of the hose.
Once you have the tubing bender, you need to heat up the hose with the heat gun. Be careful not to overheat the hose, or it could melt.
After the hose is heated up, you can start bending it using the tubing bender.
Once the hose is bent to the desired shape, you need to cool it down in the bucket of water. This will help to prevent the hose from shrinking after it cools down.
Once the hose is cool, you can install it on your car.
And that's it! You have now successfully bent rubber hoses using a tubing bender and a heat gun. I hope you found this video helpful. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Thanks for watching!

I studied your video and did a new method. I made a template. I then placed the old hose on the template to make sure it would fit. The next step was to use a wood board with my drawn template to put screws on the side of the old hose. I heated the hose up. Afterwards I put it in the freezer.

The hose on my '79 Land Cruiser that goes onto the thermostat housing is prone to failing and is a sharp bend. I had to use a long hose that would make the bends. I wish I knew about this technique for forming hose. I wonder if the heat bending on the original hose is what makes it weaker though?

Great techniques! I have an RV based on a 1994 Ford F53 chassis. It’s getting harder to find parts, and/or figure out what part number matches. Coolant hoses are my biggest problem so far. The previous owner was kind enough to collect the right heater hoses and store them in the RV, so I’ve been lucky enough to have the right ones with me. But my luck will definitely run out. (Tomorrow I’m going to go to Harbor Freight and get an exhaust pipe expander. I will be using it to slightly expand one end of a 90 degree molded heater hose so that it can fit onto the oil cooler. It is just a bit too small to fit. It’s definitely the right part number! Repairs can be a bit more urgent when you’re at a campground and only have a couple day reservation. I love your techniques re: not making a mess, too. I am going to get some of that absorbent material and a big syringe.)

You can put a copper line through the hose and bend it to the shape you want, heat it to about 250-300F and keep it there for about 5 minutes then throw it in the freezer for an hour, pull the copper tube out and you're done. Only 90 degree bends are a pain as you will have a real fight to get the hose off the copper tube, for that I drill a few holes into a piece of sheet metal, enter some bolts through the holes and place the hose in between the bolts so it would stay in place as its being heated.

On my 240 I managed to make all kinds of random hoses from the auto parts store work for the cooling system, but that power steering hose is the real kicker. Seems like a lot of S chassis people just go to custom AN fitting line kits but I didn't want to do that. There's a company called Pro Shop Noble that sells a supply hose that I ended up using, but it's pricey. I wish I had seen this sooner. I'll use this technique to replace my return hose which is currently just a length of straight 3/8 fuel line. I'm sure it'll eventually start leaking.

@AKADriver 7 ай бұрын

@@mercer982 I suspect the sizes are actually metric but perhaps not metric sizes that are common in Europe? I remember there being some fittings particularly larger ones where American inch hose sizes don't fit securely and I had to use an original part or make something work from another (likely Japanese) car by matching up hose shapes at the auto parts store. I think most hose fittings on the car are actually even mm sizes like 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, those just happen to line up with about 5/32", 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" close enough for rubber hose to stretch on.

@@AKADriver this could actually be the case, since everything else seems to follow the metric rules. Perhaps these hoses are so swollen up (which they are) kinda makes measuring difficult.

I made some bend test with small diameter plastic hoses. I made a spiral from steel wire to support the hose and pushed the spiral into the hose. I bend while heating. When the hose cooled, the shape remained. That way you can get a bend in a long hose, far from its ends. Next I try get two different diameter (6 /12 mm) ends in same tube.

@pbe6965 11 ай бұрын

You'd ruin your pump if there's even a tiny bit of sand left inside the hose. That might be acceptable for coolant, since the clearances in a waterpump would allow sand to pass through it without damage. But anything that runs oil usually have a pump or bearings somewhere with a tight fit which would be scored by anything left inside.

@dennis-nz5im 11 ай бұрын

I believe it is inevitable that this will shorten the life of the hose. When they molded new ones they are chemically changed by heat. You are changing the chemistry of the rubber, and I bet it is not the same as when it left the factory. The majority of the stress is in the fabric layers and they are probably not affected by the heat. But if you heat rubber enough to make it no longer plastic it will change it

@thegaragehub 11 ай бұрын

This may be true. However it is a solution when the oem hoses are not readily available or no longer produced. There are other methods such as converting to AN fittings and lines that would be a more permanent solution but rather costly compared to the example given. Thanks for your feedback.

@7:20 THAT IS EXACTLY HOW THE SUPPLY HOSE ON THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM OF MY 2000 FREIGHTLINER CENTURY IS..!!! KINK AH KINK AH KINK AH KINK I did not buy the truck know so I have not the exact way it came from the factory but when I bought it it had a major kink. The hose was dry rot so I replaced it with like 14 inch shorter hose which took some of the kink out but I'm still not happy. Perhaps your video can show me the light to do a nice professional bend.

I wonder if cold shocking the hot hose would work better?

But does the heat damage the hose. It was already heated up once to make it.

Potentially, repeated heat cycles in and around the engine components damage hoses over time.

Hi sir. About how much of heat (Degrees Celsius) is needed to bend the power steering hose? I don't have a heat gun. Will a hair dryer be good enough?

@thegaragehub 5 ай бұрын

I dont have the exact temperature needed, but it seems somewhere in the 90C range would work. A hair dryer could work, you would just need to apply the heat for a longer time. Thank you for your comment and good luck!

@@thegaragehub Thank you for your assistance. I will just purchase a heat gun instead. It would be much quicker doing the job 😅

@Ad-gc7th 5 ай бұрын

Hi. Got myself a heat gun. Tried, but the hose isn't bending 😅. Maybe not long enough? If you don't mind, how many minutes did you heat the tube until it was able to bend?

@thegaragehub 5 ай бұрын

@@Ad-gc7th it depends on the size of the hose, the ones I did took about 2 minutes, if they are bigger go a little longer. Make sure to move the heat all the way around.
