:inout:okay so i recently did a engine clean up the last thing left to do is completly remove the power steering system before i had just cut the belt.

i removed everything including the pump but im having trouble removing the last hose its the one that goes from the pump and wraps around the block and ends up right underneath the fuel pump. i cant for the life of me figure out how to get it off...
also when doing the research for this i kept hearing people say to make your own reservoir and to loop the lines what the heck does that mean ? :dunno:


any help is appreciated and pics would be a great help

thanks guys

I think it goes into the steering rack and there is a clamp that holds it, look for the bushing

There are two u-shaped brackets with rubber bushings in them that hold the metal portion of the line on the rear crossmember. Each has two small bolts securing it. They are a pain in the rear to access. When I replaced my line I just didn't put them back and it was all fine.

No I like my a/c and p/s

I ran around with no p/s for a while and it kind of sucked, but the worst part is that it wears out the "rag joint" at the base of the column which is about $100 from Honda and a PITA to replace

it's gotta be an m6 with a 10mm head

Sorry, there's only one bolt in each (parts 23 and 34 in the diagram). You would use a 10mm socket as Eric surmised. There a lot easier to remove than they are to reinstall.
