ACE Hose Help

[StusRover]

So my drive (serpentine) belt broke recently which cut a line that caused a small fire... not a great day. However damage seems to be very minimal. I have a 2001 D2 SE7 and it appears that the ACE froze. In the process (or cause) the hose from the ACE pump ruptured. I have a local hydraulic shop that said they can probably repair it. However I can't seem to find where it terminates ate the other end. I couldn't find the replacement hose on RoverParts.com, but found the hose on good ol' Ebay to see if I could use the picture to find the other end to pull it. That didn't help.

I know that most/maybe all on here would just leave ACE alone, but I thought I would give it a try to keep it as it was. Does anyone have any thoughts on removing this hose so I can see if it repairable?

thanks
Stuart

I think it goes from the pump to the valve block under the pass side of the truck.

It's on page 60-7 of the FSM.

The hose does indeed run from the pump to the valve block.

If you don't want to disassembly to that extent, you could cut the steel pipe and use a hydraulic application (steel versus brass) compression fitting so that you didn't have to unthread it from the truck.

Thank you for the help! I think I am just going to go ACEless rather than mess with the hose. Everyone I talked to about it seemed to think the ACE wasn't worth the time/$$.
