Power steering rack and pinion

Hello and thank you for using 2carpros. Com. To begin, to access the hoses, chances are you will need to loosen and lower the rack. Access to the hose is extremely limited and requires the gear to be loosened. Note: You referred to the damaged component as the "power tube". I am basing my reply on that meaning the high pressure hose which runs between the pump and the rack. If that is incorrect, please feel free to let me know. Additionally, I have attached a picture of the entire assembly for you to use when in process. It should help guide and indicate part locations and names. These directions are quite extensive, but it is the proper way to remove the gear assembly. If you have additional questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks,
Joe
