Low Pressure Power Steering Hose Size(s)

Are they 3/8" or 5/8" or either depending on the hose location?

I'm looking for the sizes for all sections of all the low pressure hoses.

TIA

Started the job and there are the following

3/8" lines:
From body hard line to rack low pressure port (along the firewall)
Cooler to reservoir
Cooler to body hard line

5/8" line:
Reservoir to pump

To replace all the low pressure rubber lines you'll need about 10 feet of 3/8" and 2 feet of 5/8".

Hey guys. Can I reach all if not most of the hoses by removing the right wheel along with the wheel lining? I got steering fluid all over the floor here my car is 216k miles 2017 sv. Trying to fix this problem before work in the am. Thank you

You should post in the 7th gen forum, this is the 4th gen forum.

I'm guessing you can get to most of them that way, but some of the lines going to the PS pump are on the back of the engine, so you'll need to crawl under the engine to get to them.
