97 grand caravan power steering hose replacement
I have 97 grand caravan and need instructions(ie tools, how to access) to replace the power steering hoses. Do i need a special tool to replace both the high pressure and return power steering hoses, they are very difficult to get to with regular size wrench? What parts should be removed to gain better access to the bolts?
thx in advance |

POWER STEERING FLUID PRESSURE HOSE
Service all power steering hoses with vehicle raised on hoist. Cap all open ends of hoses, power steering pump fittings and steering gear ports to prevent entry of foreign material into the components. WARNING: POWER STEERING OIL, ENGINE PARTS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT IF ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING. DO NOT START ENGINE WITH ANY LOOSE OR DISCONNECTED HOSES. DO NOT ALLOW HOSES TO TOUCH HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATALYST. For part reference and part location for the vehicle that is being serviced, refer to the following figure numbers. These show the hose bracket locations, hose routings and fitting locations by the engine application of the vehicle. Use these figure numbers when referring to the removal or installation procedures for the power steering hoses listed below. REMOVE

So, I'm currently in the middle of doing this job, instead of a crow foot I bought a cheap 18 mill combo wrench, cut a slot in the end so I can get around the hose. The pump came off fine but the other end is a total PITA.
How in the heck to do get that gd thing off? Is it necessary to remove both to hoses to get to the bottom? |
