New Chrysler Crossfire Hydraulic Line 14
New Hydraulic Hose Line # 14 for Chrysler Crossfire Roadsters.
This hose goes from the pump to the bottom end of the right Main Lift cylinder. Each hose has a two-digit number stamped on it in white or red ink near the metal fitting. This number is also stamped on the cylinder port where the line enters the cylinder, and on the pump retaining plate where the line enters the pump.
This is a single hose #14 from hose assembly P/N: 5142631AA
(P/N 5142631AA corresponds to the pair of hoses #13 and #14)
Top Hydraulics' manufactures new, upgraded hydraulic hoses that are more flexible than the OEM hoses, plus they have a higher pressure rating due to their internal braid. This makes them easy to install and long lasting.
All hoses come with wire snap ring and I-ring for installation on the pump end, as well as snap ring installation tool and brief instructions.
All hydraulic lines have a two-digit number printed on the hose material, near the metal fittings. This number is also stamped onto the retaining plate on the pump, on the hydraulic line ports of the rear bow lock cylinder, and on the storage cover lock where the lines enter the storage cover lock cylinder. The hydraulic line ports on the main lift cylinders, the bow tension cylinders, and the tonneau cover lift cylinder are not numbered - only the hoses are.
The Crossfire has fourteen hoses in the roadster soft top system.
General Precaution: if the top has been operated recently, make sure to relieve pressure. There is a pressure relief valve at the pump. However, if you have a leaking hydraulic line, then there shouldn't be any pressure on it, anyway...
Removal of the hoses at the pump requires the following steps:
1) Remove socket head screws from retaining plate. All lines will stay attached to the retaining plate at this point.
2) Pull on each line individually to get them out of the pump. All lines are still attached to the retaining plate, and the plate will be freed from the pump once all lines have been pulled out of the pump.
3) Pull the retaining plate (with all fourteeen hydraulic lines in it) off the pump.
4) To remove an individual line from the retaining plate, you need to push it further into the plate until an external, round retaining ring aka circlip becomes visible. Pry out the circlip, and you will be able to pull the line out of the retaining plate.
Removal of the hydraulic lines from the cylinders requires the following steps:
1) Pull out the clip that holds the line in the cylinder. Take care not to loose the clip.
2) Pull out the line.
Top Hydraulics ships the new lines with a new o-ring and circlip for the pump end. When replacing the line, make sure to install the circlip first and then new new o-ring on the pump end, or you might cut the o-ring with the circlip.
The hydraulic lines for the locking cylinders do not require any o-rings on the cylinder side. Top Hydraulics ships the lines for main lift cylinders, bow extension cylinders, and storage cover lift cylinder with a new o-ring for the cylinder end. When replacing the line on a non-locking cylinder, make sure to remove the old o-ring from the cylinder first with a soft tool, then push the new o-ring onto the hydraulic line fitting, then push the fitting into the cylinder.

For Customs clearance, you must declare a value on the package you are sending us. Please note: parcels with a declared value under US$750 enter the US without incurring taxes, duties or clearance fees. Considering that you are sending us broken parts for repair, it is most reasonable to declare a value under US$750. You can insure your parcel only up to the amount that has been declared as the value for customs, so your best insurance is good packaging. It is extremely rare that parts get lost on the way to us.
Please be sure to drain or cycle all fluid out of your parts, then wrap them in plastic, so that the parcel does not get soaked in oil. It is generally a good practice to double box pumps or sets of cylinders because heavy parcels take quite a beating in international transit unless you are using a premium carrier such as FedEx. Clearly, you don't want to just stick a part into a cardboard envelope without any further protection or buffering. Buffer your parcel well inside so that parts don't rattle around or the parcel gets crushed from others on top of it. Ideally, tape all around all surfaces of the parcel, which generally provides excellent protection against losing components that are trying to escape through small holes in the cardboard.
We use FedEx International Priority for almost all outbound international shipments, as they tend to offer the fastest and most secure service. Due to our shipping volumes, our rates for return shipping your parts via FedEx International Priority are typically equal to or cheaper than Postal Service. We cannot offer shipping labels for your shipment from you to us - you will have to shop around for the best option to ship your parts to us.
In the rare event that you feel you have to declare a value over US$750 on your parcel shipping to us, please understand that we will need to be reimbursed for any importation fees or duties incurred. You agree to this by accepting our terms and conditions when you place your order. On high value parcels, we are typically charged an Entry Prep Fee (currently about $25) plus 2.5% tax on the declared value of the package, there are oftentimes delays in customs, and it can take a while for us to receive the actual customs invoice.
Depending on the parts you are sending us, your customs declaration might say "hydraulic cylinder for repair" or "hydraulic pump" for repair. Please note that DHL does not like to carry hydraulic parts or used car parts in some countries. If your carrier asks for the "harmonized code or tariff" of the parts you are shipping, those are 841221 for linear actuators (cylinders) and 841360 for pumps.
At Top Hydraulics, we pride ourselves on providing new and remanufactured parts with unmatched quality and longevity.
It is very rare that our parts fail. Obviously, we are only human and we could have made a mistake or one of our components might indeed have had a hidden defect. Please contact us first when you suspect that you have a warranty case, so that we can try to help right away. It could be that the failure you are experiencing is caused by a different component or that the installation was not quite proper, so we like to be in touch first to go over the situation with you.
Unless stated otherwise, there is a 3 year warranty on all new and remanufactured parts provided by Top Hydraulics. This warranty is transferable. All parts manufactured or rebuilt by Top Hydraulics have unique markings, so there is no additional paperwork needed to transfer a warranty. The warranty does not cover labor, direct or consequential damages. The warranty is void when the parts have been abused or have been installed incorrectly, or when brake fluid or stop-leak additives have contaminated your hydraulic system..
You will have to send your failed part(s) back to Top Hydraulics for a warranty evaluation. In the extremely rare case of failure on rebuilds or new parts shipped or provided by Top Hydraulics, Top Hydraulics' warranty covers only parts and is limited to rebuilding the products previously shipped by Top Hydraulics, or replacing them, or refunding the rebuild fee at Top Hydraulics' discretion. If the failure was our fault, then we will refund reasonable shipping costs, as well.
