Power Steering hose solutions?
Looks like both the power steering line from the pump to the rack and the rack back to the reservoir are available (and I'll snag spares while I still can), but I haven't been able to find a replacement for the line from the reservoir to the pump. Mine is leaking like crazy and pretty much always has to some extent, so it's probably time to replace it as it's getting worse.
So has anyone else found a good solution? I just don't want to hack up something that still works and not get it right. But it looks like you could cut the metal crimp off the end and then clamp new hose to the fitting. It's not like it's pressurized, so I would think it would hold fine. The other end is just bare hose that clamps to the reservoir anyway. Any second opinions? And if you've done this, do you recall the hose size?
If not, I'll get up the nerve to experiment and post my results.
