If you have a process that would be ideal. I'd love to avoid having to do the crossover pipes and so if there is a technique that would be great.

Get a Stanley knife and cut the hose off at the Ali pipe Union, which will expose the steel ferrule end of the hose going into the Ali crossover pipe, taking your time with a screwdriver and a hammer collapse it in, till you can get to a point where you can get mole grips on and tease it out, that’s how I did all four ends on the two pipes I’ve removed cos they were seized sold!!

Lennym1984 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 @bally4563 That's very helpful thanks. I had imagined that such an approach would be possible but whenever I have discussed it with people they have always seemed intent on removing the old pipe intact (which seems a bit pointless to me given that it is - by the time it needs replacing - scrap). Cheers! Have a vritual pint on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman42 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Dropped mine off at my mechanic today - he’s recently done exactly the same on his own 997 and another 2 987’s so tally’s with the common theme. My assumption is that around 10years old, things start to wear out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennym1984 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Well I today fixed my hoses using the method @bally4563 described. It was pretty tedious but so far, no leaks. If you are paying somebody else, I can totally see why they drop the subframe and replace the whole lot. From a time perspective it is probably quicker too - it took me about 4 hours to do one side. For the diyer however, the "bally method" will save you quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Finishing this off for me and to cheer @bally4563 up a little for all his hard work - picked mine up today after having all the hoses and cross pipes replaced - £812 including VAT from my Indy 😩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenM Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 I had the pipes and hoses replaced at my local indie and that was just under £800 so that seems to be about the going rate to have this done looking at what @Mattman42 has paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
