Volvo Penta DP-H steering hydraulic Hose Replacement

[Stampede]

Hi Guys,

I have twin Volvo Penta Dp-h outdrives fitted to a D4 engine . The boat is out of the water and one of the hydraulic hoses on the steering ran on the starboard side, has come away from the manifold it’s connected leaking fluid .

I have taken the 2 Allen key screws out of the manifold it’s connected to , but the manifold will not budge. I have seen in previous posts that the manifold is suppose to slip down when the screws are removed .

It looks very corroded, and I want to replace it .

Any suggestions on how to take it out.

Thanks in advance

If you still have the other 3 hoses connected you could try twisting it back and forth with a screwdriver between 2 of the pipes. There is nothing else holding it in other than the corrosion you mentioned.
