the hose is like 36 bucks at Autozone... how hard is the replacement of this piece?

any good write-ups on it?

Thanks!

just look at it ur old one its difficult. it took me about 20 min. or so to change mine. i haven't seen a write-up on this but its not hard.

 

yea its pretty simple but the only hard thing is breaking loose the bolts that hold the hose in place

 

not hard. just 2 bolts.. i think 22mm, the bottom one is a little harder to get to.

 

COol... yea it looks like the hardest part is getting to that bottom bolt section.

is there any special way to fill the thing back up with PS fluid, or just fill the resevoir a few times?

 

Mine was a little bit of a pain, just did it a few weeks ago. Biggest problem was removing the bottom bolt. I had to cut a 15/16 th's wrench down to about 5" long to get to it and have enough range of motion to turn it. Other than that it was easy though.

 

just refill the resevoir

 

I'd recommend trying to fit a long-ish breaker bar for the bottom one, as it can be stubborn. Pan recommended as it will run out. When installing try not to let it touch any exhaust manifolds if it comes close.

Proper bleeding procedure is with the wheels off the ground. Start the engine and don't let the reservoir run dry as you turn the wheel lock to lock a few times. That's it.

 

The only thing I could add is when you put the new hose on attach the lower end first. You have to twist it a little to get the hole lined up and it is easier to twist the top one with the lower one attached that the other way around.
