I replaced the big hose from the pump to the storage tank from
the top. I put a plastic sheet and newspapers under the car to
catch leakage. Then I unbolted the tank, unclamped the big hose
and carefully removed it from the tank's nipple. I couldn't get the
other end off the pump, even after unclamping it, so I cut it off
with an exacto knife. After slicing the stub parallel to the nipple
on the pump, I was able to peel the hose off. With the help of
some soap'n'water, I was able to force the new hose onto the pump.
Attaching the new hose to the tank was very easy. I needed a 7mm
small ratchet to tighten and loosen the clamp at the pump. Protect
the ground under the car, because PS fluid will get all over (but, if
your hose is leaking, PS fluid is probably _already_ all over the
place.
.
Total job time shouldn't exceed 1 hr., but the hose itself is damn
expensive; almost $100 IIRC.
.
Good luck,
Drew
