power steering issues

[blizz99]

I have a problem. everytime i try to bleed my power steering system a hose blows and disconnects. it's the hose that's under the car connecting 2 metal tubes above where the cat would be. i've tried replacing the power steering pump, changing tubes, tightening clamps, etc. nothing works and everytime i try to bleed the system it pops right off. anyone know what can be causing this?

never heard of this happening on a cars power steering system. but this happens to our plows all the time when someone sits there and hold the joystick to one sire or the other keeping the pressure up causing a line to blow. although a plow and power steering arent the same thing they work in the same manner, so when you bleed it all you want to do it turn the wheel all the way to one side and then back the other way, dont sit there and keep the pressure building. im not saying thats what your doing but just incase.

i dont let it sit there, i had my wife turning the wheel while i make sure the fluid level doesnt go down. when she turns the wheels to the left it's fine, and then when she starts going to the right the hose blows
