I've been looking @ the book and looking @ my car and short of droping the rack I can't see how to get to the fitting on the rack to replace the high pressure line for the power steering. Do you have any tips?
ps; the line also has a electric plug on the top of the fitting whats it for? (looks like a sensor type)

thanks in advance

you might get access to it if you take out trans speedometer cable first? the sensor is probably a pressure reducer of some kind so power assist is reduced at highway speeds.
