You don't it looks like a bad crimp or a bad fitting.

That's one reason I prefer to make my own.

Take the line to a hydraulic shop and have them make you a new one.

Probably a place like this.

Or talk to the vender.

A couple years ago I had a good local hydraulics place make me a new oil feed line for less than $20 while I waited.

Napa can probably make you something. You'd have to bring them up the hose

Call Chris or Cindy or take it off and get a hydraulic shop to recrimp it.

This is why I use factory pipes and new hose :) Or silicone hose.

Never had one fail on me. Maybe just my luck.

I cant see how this would happen very often. However hose ends do come through defective on rare occasions. Its usually around where the inner diameter part of the fitting is mated to the outside part thats crimped. It kinda looks like thats where its leaking from too. Theres no fixing to the end, you basically just need a new one. You cant just cut it and put a new end on because itll be too short and you cant save the part of the hose thats been crimped

Technically you can save the hose for another purpose if it will be long enough, it's the end that's junk, unless the liner is split (almost impossible), the section less the end is still viable... so it might be worth hanging on to, but I would cut the bad end off so it can't be confused with a good unit.

If you bought it from FWD-P, call us and we will replace it. If you dodn't buy it from us, call the place you got them from and see if they will warranty it.

Cindy
