Power Steering Hose Replacement

[MrStabby]

I need to replace one of my PS hoses, and its got a short rubber section that is joined onto about a meter of tube nicely wound in and out and around the front half of the car. No joins at which it could be split. It looks impossible to get out without dropping the crossmember....anyone know how to get the bastard out?

No idea on a 32GTR but I had a similar problem when replacing a power steering hose on a 33GTST.

I just cut the old hose off the metal pipe with a stanley knife. I presume the hose in question is the one being replaced so damaging it isn't an issue.

The hose I was using as a replacement was much more flexible than the perished factory one, so getting it back on was easy. Check yours first before cutting I guees.

That tube your talking about is a PITA... but from what your saying, aren't you just trying to take the rubber off and replace? As said, just cut it, and replace with the new stuff.

PS: I'm assuming your talking about the low pressure, "return to reservoir" lines? If not... ;(

Nah it was one of the high pressure ones. Eventually got it out (took hours) and got Enzed to replace the rubber section for $80. Also did a badly blistered high pressure air con hose at the same time.
