Title: power steering woes
Post by: gtiharv on 04 April 2009, 17:01

Tried to replace my power steering pump as i thought it was that that was leaking, but i found the problem just as i undid it.  the metal pipe that runs to the the pump has split for some reason ( i think it was the gartage that rebuilt my engine).

Now what i would like to know is how do i remove the pipe so I can replace it?  The haynes manual says you need to remove the pipe from the steering rack but i can get to the coupling to take the pipe off, any ideas how i can get to it?

Jack the car up and do it from underneath.....you may have to cut through the pipe to get the nut off...
