now today we'll be replacing oil cooling
00:00:02.899 00:00:02.909 lines now I'm going to clean this up so
00:00:04.880 00:00:04.890 you get a better shot but this is in
00:00:06.320 00:00:06.330 fact the metal cooling lines that run
00:00:09.470 00:00:09.480 from the firewall up toward the radiator
00:00:12.379 00:00:12.389 so we'll remove the battery the overflow
00:00:14.270 00:00:14.280 bottle here as you can see let me give
00:00:16.609 00:00:16.619 you another view this is a 2010 Subaru
00:00:19.120 00:00:19.130 140,000 miles and it's starting to
00:00:21.470 00:00:21.480 bubble here but I'll start the vehicle
00:00:23.480 00:00:23.490 right down here really is where the leak
00:00:26.750 00:00:26.760 is occurring now if we look straight
00:00:34.040 00:00:34.050 down
00:00:37.870 00:00:37.880 that sure if the camera can pick that up
00:00:39.580 00:00:39.590 a day ago as you can see it has a really
00:00:41.410 00:00:41.420 nasty leak now it's not the rubber ones
00:00:43.330 00:00:43.340 because I replaced those around a year
00:00:45.760 00:00:45.770 ago when we did the timing belt
00:00:47.110 00:00:47.120 replacement if you look closely enough
00:00:49.299 00:00:49.309 you can really see that the metal line
00:00:52.210 00:00:52.220 is just completely done so let's go
00:00:54.880 00:00:54.890 ahead swap it out now because the metal
00:00:59.170 00:00:59.180 lines are a little difficult to get to I
00:01:01.150 00:01:01.160 just want to clean this up as much as I
00:01:02.950 00:01:02.960 can so I'll start by removing the
00:01:04.299 00:01:04.309 battery
00:01:10.990 00:01:11.000 and this is just a little PB Blaster a
00:01:16.050 00:01:16.060 little too much but nonetheless
00:01:34.330 00:01:34.340 it's time to clean up this battery too
00:01:37.959 00:01:37.969 so right here now we have a little bit
00:01:40.130 00:01:40.140 more working room there is a tab which
00:01:42.649 00:01:42.659 I'll show you in a moment
00:01:43.609 00:01:43.619 don't worry fastener holding this down
00:01:45.440 00:01:45.450 what's brace sum' PB Blaster and that is
00:01:47.539 00:01:47.549 well but I just want to move this
00:01:48.859 00:01:48.869 overflow bottle just give me some more
00:01:53.300 00:01:53.310 working room
00:01:56.050 00:01:56.060 now something I often do is take a look
00:01:58.600 00:01:58.610 at the brand-new part so on this vehicle
00:02:01.120 00:02:01.130 we can easily see one fastener but
00:02:04.690 00:02:04.700 looking at the new part I know that in
00:02:06.190 00:02:06.200 total we have one two three fasteners so
00:02:10.690 00:02:10.700 if you're working on a car it's really
00:02:12.070 00:02:12.080 hard to see you're not sure if the
00:02:13.480 00:02:13.490 fasteners or where they're located look
00:02:15.910 00:02:15.920 at the brand-new part notice where they
00:02:18.220 00:02:18.230 are and then just find it on your
00:02:19.900 00:02:19.910 vehicle so again one is one right here
00:02:24.040 00:02:24.050 and then we should have another one a
00:02:26.260 00:02:26.270 little hard to see but right there is
00:02:29.680 00:02:29.690 the third one so here's another view
00:02:38.290 00:02:38.300 from underneath the vehicle and a lot of
00:02:40.090 00:02:40.100 times these can really solidify on here
00:02:42.010 00:02:42.020 very good time to replace these by the
00:02:43.840 00:02:43.850 way again these are only about a year
00:02:45.100 00:02:45.110 old now if you're replacing them what I
00:02:47.260 00:02:47.270 tend to do is I'll grab a pair of pliers
00:02:50.340 00:02:50.350 grip it here and just rotate it like
00:02:53.470 00:02:53.480 this you see how it already loosens up
00:02:55.360 00:02:55.370 from the metal line down this one and
00:02:58.390 00:02:58.400 then one hand I'll pull and the other
00:03:01.060 00:03:01.070 one I'll grab a flathead and sort of
00:03:03.370 00:03:03.380 push down as if I could do this here
00:03:07.170 00:03:07.180 sort of push down again take your time
00:03:09.490 00:03:09.500 this vehicle of course living in the
00:03:11.860 00:03:11.870 Northeast there we go that was quick a
00:03:13.930 00:03:13.940 drain pin and then we'll grab the other
00:03:17.770 00:03:17.780 one okay now to get to those rear lines
00:03:23.650 00:03:23.660 you can really try from up top you can
00:03:26.289 00:03:26.299 use something like this which is made
00:03:27.699 00:03:27.709 for pulling hoses really I've used these
00:03:30.250 00:03:30.260 in a pinch to just squeeze clamps and
00:03:32.560 00:03:32.570 pull them off but I think in this case
00:03:34.840 00:03:34.850 it's just going to be easier from the
00:03:38.170 00:03:38.180 bottom yeah it's going to be a little
00:03:39.970 00:03:39.980 little tough from up top okay so here we
00:03:42.610 00:03:42.620 have another view of the hoses from
00:03:44.080 00:03:44.090 underneath the vehicle but looking at
00:03:45.910 00:03:45.920 this I think it's going to be easier if
00:03:48.460 00:03:48.470 I just remove them from the line going
00:03:52.120 00:03:52.130 into the transmission and just pull off
00:03:54.789 00:03:54.799 the part with the hoses on it by
00:03:56.920 00:03:56.930 thinking my case I don't have to jack up
00:03:58.360 00:03:58.370 the car can actually just get my hands
00:04:01.240 00:04:01.250 under here and just remove these clamps
00:04:03.069 00:04:03.079 again take note where the hoses are
00:04:05.020 00:04:05.030 going I'll have cardboard underneath the
00:04:08.080 00:04:08.090 vehicle
00:04:10.020 00:04:10.030 now these have not been removed in nine
00:04:14.170 00:04:14.180 years so just be a little patient hard
00:04:20.890 00:04:20.900 to see where I am right now I think I'm
00:04:23.530 00:04:23.540 pretty much there there we go okay now
00:04:31.620 00:04:31.630 what I'm doing is just marking off this
00:04:36.400 00:04:36.410 hose so I know where it goes back okay
00:04:48.360 00:04:48.370 now for this first one 10 millimeter and
00:04:52.570 00:04:52.580 what I'm doing is taking a three pound
00:04:54.790 00:04:54.800 sledge very carefully tapping this okay
00:04:58.060 00:04:58.070 because you don't want to hit the timing
00:04:59.590 00:04:59.600 cover which is this plastic piece right
00:05:01.210 00:05:01.220 here
00:05:03.420 00:05:03.430 okay just loosen it up
00:05:10.280 00:05:10.290 now for this fastener I'm using a
00:05:12.840 00:05:12.850 breaker bar there's the break it loose
00:05:17.010 00:05:17.020 very gently you don't want to put too
00:05:18.750 00:05:18.760 much force because you can easily just
00:05:20.640 00:05:20.650 rip the top another fastener right off
00:05:25.730 00:05:25.740 now for this last fastener toward the
00:05:28.500 00:05:28.510 rear of the vehicle just going to use a
00:05:30.540 00:05:30.550 3/8 drive ratchet ten millimeter socket
00:05:33.720 00:05:33.730 and then I'm going to create an
00:05:35.250 00:05:35.260 extension over the ratchet I'll show you
00:05:37.800 00:05:37.810 what I mean a moment first just end on
00:05:41.100 00:05:41.110 here nice and snug okay and then what
00:05:46.320 00:05:46.330 I'm going to do I'll zoom out and give
00:05:47.850 00:05:47.860 you a different view in a moment I'm
00:05:50.969 00:05:50.979 grabbing a socket along with a bunch of
00:05:54.870 00:05:54.880 different extensions just to give me
00:05:56.670 00:05:56.680 that extra leverage and again just to
00:05:59.580 00:05:59.590 give you another view super long
00:06:02.100 00:06:02.110 extension place it over the end of the
00:06:08.400 00:06:08.410 ratchet and now you have a an incredibly
00:06:10.560 00:06:10.570 long handle to get the job done the old
00:06:24.060 00:06:24.070 part pulled out of the vehicle I did not
00:06:26.310 00:06:26.320 have a long enough tripod to record it
00:06:28.860 00:06:28.870 at the same time but nonetheless you
00:06:31.200 00:06:31.210 just pull it out snake it out and
00:06:33.540 00:06:33.550 replace the part so you just want to
00:06:35.880 00:06:35.890 make sure everything lines up which the
00:06:39.060 00:06:39.070 tabs do we'll take off these rubber tabs
00:06:42.750 00:06:42.760 on the end and also I'll use brand new
00:06:45.960 00:06:45.970 hosing so I'm just going to remove these
00:06:48.719 00:06:48.729 old hoses here I'm gonna just slowly
00:06:53.940 00:06:53.950 rotate them so much easier watch the
00:06:59.460 00:06:59.470 parts on the bench okay if you don't
00:07:03.600 00:07:03.610 know how to measure the diameter of a
00:07:07.529 00:07:07.539 hose I'll show you in a moment
00:07:15.540 00:07:15.550 [Music]
00:07:19.080 00:07:19.090 okay now I have to make sure actually
00:07:21.250 00:07:21.260 I'm going to keep this one on because I
00:07:22.750 00:07:22.760 don't want to mix these up okay so we
00:07:24.850 00:07:24.860 have two different sources on how to
00:07:26.590 00:07:26.600 replace hosing option one is this being
00:07:29.200 00:07:29.210 of Subaru I can visit the local subaru
00:07:31.990 00:07:32.000 dealer I can visit an OEM website and
00:07:35.010 00:07:35.020 purchase replacement hosing directly
00:07:38.170 00:07:38.180 from Subaru the advantages I have the
00:07:40.510 00:07:40.520 shape in other words when you purchase
00:07:42.310 00:07:42.320 the hosing it the shape is exactly the
00:07:44.950 00:07:44.960 way that the old part was the
00:07:46.900 00:07:46.910 disadvantage is the price
00:07:48.610 00:07:48.620 my guess is each hose here is probably
00:07:50.770 00:07:50.780 nine to fourteen dollars each very
00:07:54.160 00:07:54.170 expensive if you go that route option
00:07:56.470 00:07:56.480 two is just measure the hosing so I need
00:08:00.010 00:08:00.020 to replace let's say I'm just replacing
00:08:01.690 00:08:01.700 this one hose so when you go to the auto
00:08:04.600 00:08:04.610 parts store they'll ask you how many
00:08:06.310 00:08:06.320 inches or how many feet you need the
00:08:08.650 00:08:08.660 hosing to be this is let's say rounded
00:08:10.840 00:08:10.850 up because I can't really straighten out
00:08:12.790 00:08:12.800 totally but let's say this is roughly
00:08:14.590 00:08:14.600 nine inches in length okay so I would
00:08:17.140 00:08:17.150 purchase a foot you always go a little
00:08:19.420 00:08:19.430 bit higher when you need hosing so first
00:08:21.940 00:08:21.950 purchase one feet worth of hosing now
00:08:25.150 00:08:25.160 the second question is the diameter in
00:08:27.220 00:08:27.230 other words how large is this opening
00:08:30.190 00:08:30.200 the inner diameter not the outside but
00:08:33.100 00:08:33.110 the inside so taking a look at the tape
00:08:35.770 00:08:35.780 measure if I measure from my one foot
00:08:39.130 00:08:39.140 marking to 13 inches if I count all of
00:08:43.030 00:08:43.040 these spaces I have 16 spaces it's one
00:08:46.750 00:08:46.760 two three four eight twelve sixteen okay
00:08:50.290 00:08:50.300 sixteen spaces so all that you do is you
00:08:52.480 00:08:52.490 grab your hosing and measure the inner
00:08:56.410 00:08:56.420 diameter and I have seven markings so
00:09:00.700 00:09:00.710 this happens to be 7/16 of an inch
00:09:04.810 00:09:04.820 that's your diameter let me give you
00:09:07.300 00:09:07.310 another example very quickly let's say
00:09:09.070 00:09:09.080 you have a smaller hose in here and I
00:09:12.010 00:09:12.020 measure the hosing and I have six six
00:09:16.320 00:09:16.330 sixteenths of an inch then what you want
00:09:18.970 00:09:18.980 to do is divide the numerator and the
00:09:21.610 00:09:21.620 denominator by two if you can so if we
00:09:25.660 00:09:25.670 have six there we go we have
00:09:28.259 00:09:28.269 6/16 so i have to play with them if it's
00:09:31.329 00:09:31.339 lopsided like that just straighten it
00:09:32.860 00:09:32.870 out the 6 16 divided by 2 is 3/8
00:09:36.460 00:09:36.470 so this would be 3/8 of an inch okay so
00:09:38.680 00:09:38.690 my case I looked you know this is all
00:09:41.290 00:09:41.300 the hosing I have and unfortunately I
00:09:43.269 00:09:43.279 don't have the right diameter so I'm
00:09:45.730 00:09:45.740 going to reinstall this anyway and then
00:09:48.759 00:09:48.769 just purchase the whole thing later on
00:09:50.259 00:09:50.269 and just do a quick swap just the rubber
00:09:52.809 00:09:52.819 hosing so we can get this done
00:09:55.990 00:09:56.000 that being said just gonna swap this out
00:10:00.689 00:10:00.699 don't forget your line here and then
00:10:14.170 00:10:14.180 again I just want to put the blue tape
00:10:16.059 00:10:16.069 back on what I did is off-camera I
00:10:17.889 00:10:17.899 removed the tape and just cleaned the
00:10:19.720 00:10:19.730 hosing off with some cleaner purple
00:10:23.290 00:10:23.300 power let's clean up the whole thing and
00:10:26.430 00:10:26.440 make sure everything's nice and clean
00:10:28.889 00:10:28.899 put this over here and then we'll just
00:10:31.900 00:10:31.910 reinstall it and the vehicle bolt it
00:10:33.610 00:10:33.620 down start the vehicle make sure we have
00:10:36.280 00:10:36.290 no leaks and that's it
00:10:59.290 00:10:59.300 00:11:00.800 00:11:00.810 [Laughter]
00:11:08.310 00:11:08.320 I'm curious and out we'll just reinstall
00:11:11.170 00:11:11.180 the battery everything is tightened down
00:11:12.699 00:11:12.709 correctly we'll start the vehicle and
00:11:17.290 00:11:17.300 check for leaks and then of course the
00:11:30.340 00:11:30.350 west step is just checking for leaks
00:11:33.610 00:11:33.620 looks like everything is in good shape
00:11:35.170 00:11:35.180 I'll also check the transmission fluid
00:11:37.840 00:11:37.850 make sure we have enough fluid in the
00:11:39.550 00:11:39.560 transmission but that being said that
00:11:42.429 00:11:42.439 wraps up the replacement thank you for
00:11:44.559 00:11:44.569 watching questions comments please leave
00:11:46.300 00:11:46.310 it below and we'll see you next time
