    Don't know if you read it wrong or if auto-fill took over, but you might be looking for flare nut wrench - very handy for brake lines, too.

    Ready for some help. I have no problem placing the disconnect tool around the power steering hose at top of the power steering coolant coupling.

    I can move the hose back about one inch, and then that's it. Very difficult to pull on that hose.

    Do I need more force to completely get the hose off the coolant nipples?

    OK so this is an important part for future users of the quick connect tool.

    Insert the tool as around the hose and connection to cooler, pull back about an inch, AND REMOVE THE TOOL!. Then, and only then, will the hose disconnect and fluid will rush out!

    Managed to do the job. Only replaced the one hose that was leaking (tight on $$).

    I also did not use the flange wrench, I used a 22mm socket, replaced the crush washers too.

    Thanks for the info! I need to replace my power steering hoses at some point (they're weeping), and this will be helpful.

    Happy to help and thanks for the comment.


    I wasted a long time with that tool around the hose pulling and bitching. Then I wasted more time on the internet to look around about how to do it and found the answer so I thought to share the knowledge.

    Pretty easy job I thought.
