Power Steering Hose Assembly Tool -6AN -10AN

The BILLET SPECIALTIES Power Steering Hose Assembly Tool for -6AN and -10AN PTFE hose is a precision spreader designed to safely separate and assemble high-pressure hydraulic hose fittings without damaging threads or sealing surfaces. This aluminum-handled tool features red anodized finish for corrosion resistance and enhanced visibility during detailed assembly work on custom steering systems, fuel lines, and brake circuits.

The dual-size spreader accommodates both -6AN and -10AN hose applications, making it a versatile addition to any fabrication or maintenance shop. The hose spreader spreads fitting bodies apart mechanically, distributing pressure evenly across the connection point rather than forcing components with pliers or wrenches—a critical distinction that prevents thread stripping, cone-seat damage, and costly rework. The compact 5.3 x 1.25 x 5.85-inch profile and 0.64-pound weight make it portable for mobile service calls or bench work.

This tool addresses a common frustration in high-performance automotive and marine applications where AN hose systems demand precision assembly. Whether disconnecting a PTFE-braided fuel line on a custom hot rod, servicing a high-flow cooling system, or maintaining power steering hardlines on a lifted truck, the spreader prevents the cross-threading and fitting damage that compromise system integrity and create fluid leaks. Mechanics, fabricators, and DIY builders working with AN fittings recognize that proper separation during disassembly determines whether fittings can be reused or must be replaced.

BILLET SPECIALTIES specializes in aluminum billet components for custom automotive applications, and this hose spreader reflects that precision-manufacturing heritage. The red anodized aluminum handle resists oxidation in shop environments and provides clear visual differentiation from steel tools, reducing accidental misplacement on crowded workbenches.
