Power steering high pressure and return lines replacement

Welcome to 2CarPros.

I'm not 100% sure I understand, so I am going to attache the directions I have for replacement. Note that the steel lines that attach at the pump are screwed on. The directions show an exploded view of the system. Also, and I realize you don't need them, but it discusses the hoses at the pump as well. The attached pictures correlate with these directions.

Welcome back:

I thought you were having trouble getting them apart. What you will have to do is safely lift the driver's side of the vehicle. Once lifted and secured, remove the wheel and the inner fender panel or at least loosen it enough to gain access. That is where it come out. And yes, even with things out of the way, it's still a pain. The lines are formed to fit tightly.

Once you remove the mounting bolt, you may have to slightly bend the line to remove and replace. Just don't over do it and kink the new one.

Let me know if that helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
