If you have a pressure cleaning booth near you go clean the crap out of the area and replace both the low and high pressure lines. Soak the crap out of the threads before you try and crack them lose.

The high pressure line you should be able to get anywhere but the low side you will need to get it at the dealership or junkyard.

All easy to do DIY be sure to bleed off any air in the system if not sure how to do it ask.

 

Yes it was a quick patch job. We were 1hr away from home on a sunday. With no triple a. Used a whole quart on the way home.

 

We have no cooling system for this power steering

 

Correct some do some don't

 

warning do not use solvent or other thin fluids to flush the pump under power. they do not have enough lube. just flush with the regular power steering fluid.

 

I know about the bleeding of the system. I just never heard of a flush of the system. Part is order from dealership. Now all i have to do is fiind the correct wrench.
And yes this line does look like its on there pretty well.

 

Its not needed... some people do some don't that's why he mentioned it.

With all the power steering fluid you pumped through it you flushed the system already I would say.

Moe was covering bases that's all

 

A tubing wrench is recommended. It has a notch to slip over the tubing and then the flats wrap around the rest of the fitting.

Like what is used for brake lines.

 

 

Actually, since you're going to replace them, just cut the old tubing flush and use a 6 point socket on the fittings. Use the tubing wrench for the install.

You might want to hit them with some penetrating oil first and let it soak a bit.
