    My oil hose feed line just started leaking, I didnt realize that i didnt have a clamp to separate my feed and return lines and they were rubbing together and caused my feed line to leak, am I able to replace just the steel braided section of the hose or do I need to replace the whole part, id love to find out I can find some generic steel braided lines and cut them to size up pop them on the existing fittings

    They are one piece hoses.

    You could replace it with an style fittings and hose if you wanted.

    great thank you, also im trying to figure out if there is a rubber hose inside the steel braiding, because that might be what is leaking and the steel braiding could be fine still any advice as to what direction i should go with fixing this feed line leak

    The steel braiding and the rubber hose is one piece.
    You can buy a replacement from any of the vendors on here and many Harley dealers, or build a new hose from scratch.
    Most Napa auto stores make hydraulic lines, take yours down to one and see what they say.
