Power steering system leak

[2000UZJ]

Thanks for all the tips. Does anyone have length for each hose? Or buy 2 ft each and cut to length when you remove the old ones?

I'd cut it to length off the old ones. Or, relocate the resovior and allow a air compressor and dual battery. I have been thinking about putting the PS fluid infront of the airbox and mounting a compressor next to the second battery.

I don't recall the exact length. Buy extra and cut it to length - it's cheap

Both lines replaced. This Is by far one of the hardest nastiest jobs I have ever done. The lines were really stuck. I would recommend changing clamps at the reservoir first.

Also, installing the new lines was tough as they did not want to go on.

I hope this fixes this for good.

That is exactly what I did with mine. I only had to replace the 5/8 line. The other still reaches the new location.

So NAPPA hoses 3/8 and 5/8 would work than? Any thing else I need to know before taking the stuff apart?

Still no leaks!!

Ooh, I like! 2nd battery for the LX w/ AHC!

Thanks all. My PS reservoir is all covered in moist dust, as is the lines. I am guessing the lines are leaking or weeping...
