Replacing Power Steering Hose - need help

xTomKx · 01-09-2008, 04:55 AM

Anyone replaced high pressure power steering hose? Do I need to remove the steering rack to get the new hose in between the rack and the frame?
I cut the old one out with a saw to remove it. Have the car on jackstands in the garage and need to put it back together on thursday night.

It is an 88 gte since the hoses may be different.

Why does the hose go around back anyway instead of comming straight down and across???

Can anyone with a shop manual look it up?

Thanks, it has lots of good info in the manual. It shows how to rebuild the ps pump and rack. Unfortunately nothing about the high pressure hose and how to stick a 1/2 inch hose through a 1/4 hole

. I think the way is to unbolt the rack and push it up while I stick the hp line beneath it.

Yea, I don't know what to tell you, I have a nasty ps leak but I think its the low pressure lines. Good luck.

My high pressure hose has a pinhole and I could see the fluit squirt out. It was right below the turbo in the rubber part of the line. I'll let you know how it goes.
