My power steering lines are leaking around the high pressure crimp fitting, apparently I pulled on it to hard on the last engine install
my question is what all do I need to go about plumbing in a new one with new lines.........what fitting and is there a specific hose I should look at? Seems like it would be a good time to put in a cooler as well. How would you go about routing the lines and keeping there? Any hints tips or tricks you guys have learned from doing it would be appreciated, thanks 94 firebird, w/ a 97 LT1 M6 |

Large, new style, p/n xrp37123. Whether you want to replace more than just that line really depends upon how much work you want to do, how much you track the car, how much you want to spend, etc... Personally, I'd just replace that one line, plumb in a cooler, and look for an aftermarket reservoir that will fit in about the stock location (and that has a cap that doesn't suck like the stock reservoir). Get the fitting, some an-6 hose, a cooler and the necessary fittings, and then run them all to the new reservoir. Put new juice in the rack (we use redline p/s fluid), burp it, and you're good to go.
