Can you splice a hydraulic line?
In most cases, the hose assembly is made to a specific length, and you will need to splice in a shorter assembly to make up for what is cut away during repair. All hydraulic hoses are required to state the minimum operating and maximum burst pressures on the hose.
Can you weld hydraulic lines?
U will have to remove the oil from the line to weld it up. If it requires removal of the line to do so, maybe u can take it to a professional. If its just leaking and u need to run, let it leak if its just a small amount.

Can you solder a hydraulic line?
SSF-6 is the ideal leak-tight solution for brazing and welding steel hydraulic lines. He keeps his flame moving to avoid overheating the parent metal, and lays the silver solder rod in when the steel has turned a dull red color.
Can a hydraulic hose be repaired on a convertible?
If you’re looking to repair a section of damaged hydraulic hose for your convertible top and want to avoid replacing the entire line, this may be the solution for you. Cabriolet Hydraulics patented Hose Couplers* are designed to repair or reconnect common hydraulic hoses in modern convertible top hydraulic systems.
What should the hydraulic pressure be on a convertible?
In many cases, leaking convertible top hydraulic hoses can be easily and permanently repaired on the car with basic hand tools. Hoses are crimped internally and externally the same way as they are with the factory connectors. Most hydraulic systems with these small bore (internal) diameter lines operate at a peak pressure of 200 bar or 2900 psi.
Is it possible to replace a hydraulic seal?
Replacing hydraulic seals is a difficult job that often requires specialty tools and a detailed knowledge of the system. Also, the close tolerances and smooth machined surfaces in the system make many of the components susceptible to damage if improperly handled or if the wrong tool is used.
Can a hydraulic hose coupler be cut too close?
The hose should not be cut too close to the fitting unless it is necessary for the repair. The Hose Coupler must not interfere with the top mechanism. The repaired hose must have an adequate bend radius so that it does not fold and collapse on itself during operation. See Pic2 for coupler dimensions.
