It's a straight forward install. Disconnect if from pump 1st, then from rack. Access from underneath will make this much easier. Don't forget to top off and bleed power steering after installing new hose.

Dave B. is the man to call for a replacement. I don't recommend getting used. They are not cheap new.

Ok thanx. I will give DaveB a call and hear the price of that hose. But say from a fairly new car, you still wouldnt recommend using the hose from it.?
