Power Steering high/feed pressure hose removal?

[dpancer]

Hey guys,

I need to replace the teflon o-oring on my high/feed pressure line. Its the end that goes into the power steering pump.


I have to get at the nut that's right behind the power steering pulley.


I remember that when the motor was out of the car I was not able to get to it properly.

Has anyone had any experience with getting this nut off to remove this line and replace the o-ring? Does the pulley absolutely need to be removed to do this?

has no one replaced this line or teflon 0-ring their car?

i dont think they sell the teflon rings bythemselves you may have to get a new press line

Dorman sells them. I bought a new pair for the rack side of the lines.

I'm not worried about finding replacements. After much reading I know you can pick them up at Napa or other local parts stores. Its removing that nut is whats my concern.

You have to remove the pump pulley in order to get access to the fitting.
