Both hoses have a swivel adapter at one end to avoid the problem you
mention.

BTW, one of your two oil hoses will have to have its final (4th)
connection made without twisting the hose itself when the fittings are
screwed into the adapters. Do those fittings allow for this? If they
do not, you will see what I mean when you begin to install them.

Or, are your hoses already connected to the filter adapter and the
engine adapter? If so, you’re good to go.

That’s great! Thanks!

Thanks for the advice!

I’m not sure about the exact hose specs other than it is 1/2" ID steel-
braided hydraulic hose. It’s supposed to be able to withstand 3500 PSI.
Napa charged me around $20.00 for two 26" lengths of hose and the 4
fittings I needed. They said they use a hydraulic press to attach the
fittings to the hose ends. I did notice that the hose is alot less
flexible than the stuff the kit shipped with. I’m hoping I had them make
hoses that will be long enough to make it to my intended mounting
location (under the battery tray). Here’s what’s printed on the hose:
"Weatherhead 1/2 H42508 Coll*Crimp L USA SAE 100R2AT 3500 PSI MAX W.P.
MSHA 2G-13C U.S.C.G. F,H 08/14/03"

Hope that helps you…

  Always use the Toyota filters, even though the remote filter kit
comes with a PH8A Ford filter and the threads are the same.

  The Toyota oil filters have the overpressure bypass valve built into
the filters, so if you live in the Snow Belt you won’t blow the filter
element (or the can seam/base gasket) on cold starts.

  And upgrading to Aeroquip hydraulic-grade hoses is a good idea too,
in case you get a pressure spike on the supply line to the filter that
would blow the cheap hose they ship with the kits.

I would be grateful if you’d post the specs for those hoses you’ve had
fabricated. I have the same relocation kit, but it’s stored in my
attic because it leaked when I installed it, and now I’m afraid to use
it. Custom hoses would be perfect! What particular fittings and hose
size did you use? Thanks!

I have not actually added brake fluid to any vehicle in 10 years.

My 2001 Tacoma does this now…
It is the spring in mine.  To check, with the engine running and in neuteral
or park, push down on the emergency brake handle.  If it’s the spring, the
light on the dash should go off.
