944 Trans line

[Bud_7]

I have a 1986 Porsche 944 n/a automatic. I need to remove one of the trans lines, I have everything disconnected but cannot seem to get the line out. Has anyone done this before? Does anyone have any tips to remove it?

I pulled the lines out of parts car- but i had removed the trans axle and torque tube also. Sorry i don't recall anything unusual.

Flare nut wrench?

Many times hardlines with flare or compression ring fittings have a difficult time separating from their mate.

They will deform enough to stick a bit. Eventually you may have to replace the fitting itself.

Is there a simple way to just replace the front rubber section, without replacing the whole hard line?

Hope you have resolved this issue. If not, post a photo, we may be able to offer some advice.

I have a 944 Auto Trans Line here I am refitting a new hose, but it is the high pressure side and must be crimped.

Here is the old Trans line that is leaking and needs to be Re-Hosed....





For anyone needing a replacement, I am told these are NLA from Porsche.

I can Re-Hose this for under $50.

I ran a 944 Automatic for years. The trans line starting weeping near the exhaust manifold. It is a single barb type of connection.

I used a dremel to remove the crimp collars and the old rubber line between the hardline and radiator on both the high pressure and return side. I replaced with standard rubber trans line and used hose clamps. Never had a problem.

Edit: I did this without removing the hardline
