replacing drive shaft hose

[les morgan]

My wife has a 1995 GTS and the hose around the drive shaft (looks like a short
radiator hose) has started leaking. It looks like it has a crack in it. What all
do I have to do to replace that hose?

Thanks in advance

That sounds like the springy boot that pushes the carbon seal together.

If so, you will need to pull the entire jet off, pull out the drive shaft, put on new parts and reassemble.

It sounds like a lot, but it isn't as hard as it sounds.

If you end up having to do this, this would be a great time to check your wear ring and replace that if it is worn (it most likely is on that old a machine).
