Default Steering Pressure Hose Replacement

Has anyone done this? It seems to be a total PITA and I am stuck halfway through the job. If anyone has experience doing this, please throw some advice my way! I appreciate it!

Was just there last week. Cut the old one out. but upon assembly remove the front exhaust hangers. Then drink 4 beers and climb under and snake the rear portion of the hose over the rack then slighly bent the front of the line to get the front half in there. Unless you pull the motor I dont how the F you do it. cut my FN knuckles oil in my arm pit but all in all once installed and tightened and refilled with tranny fluid well worth the 4 hours on your back. If you are loaded then a dealer would be best but since your on the forum like me we are cheap. I bought my hose used for $50 cdn
good luck mate and dont be afraid to bend it a little it is thick hose!!

I don't think they reccomend ATF for the power steering system in the car anymore.. when I changed my fluid over the summer I read up on which Pentosin Power Steering (Hydraulic) Fluid was required based on year...

If you have a red ring under the filler cap ATF if fine if you have a Grenn one then you need the special power sterring fluid
