What is your question?
The flares in the pipes are preventing the adequate insertion of the pipes into the hoses. Are the flares needed for this type of connection?
What makes this problem better or worse?
The power steering hoses are very rigid.
How long has your 2001 Chevrolet Venture had this problem?
Five days
IF the “flare” was inserted into the original hose then it should be inserted into the replacement as well.. Everything should appear the same as it was originally when replacement is complete - except for the new looking parts. Otherwise *hands-on* assistance from qualified personnel is suggested. Good luck!
