If I could get to it without engine removal I would try it - That flex seal stuff is a miracle drug!

Steel lines that can’t come out without engine removal. Gonna try replacing with rubber lines before pulling motor.

I went to services today for a friend that road, I had to pre-heat an old Shovelhead so it would start in the cold....

Wish I could. Gonna end up cutting the old line into pieces to remove.
He had a problem with it. He tried to steer, but it skid.

Did just that with the wifes 99 Blazer when it blew the long brake line. They told me they needed to drop the gas tank, and that those lines usually broke when attempting removal, and that since the long line wasnt sold, I needed to pay three hours of shop time for a guy to fab up the new line. Yeah, buddy, not happening.

Update, a nice gent in Fairfax who ran over a ratchet strap back in July and bought a spare final drive while his was repaired offered to let me borrow it while mine gets sorted......... Said back in July that some of the parts were long lead, I imagine thats not gotten better.

Yes back in August
Friend/neighbor has a largish John Deere construction backhoe in great overall condition that is "dead in place" because of the failure of the "lift pump" for the hydrostatic system. You have to dismantle the entire machine down to about where it first started life on an assembly line just to get to that damned pump. So it sits...he bought another backhoe..LOL.

Frustrating for sure! All engineers should be required to work “in the field” for 5 years before designing/building anything.
