trimster Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Seems that the last owner didn't replace the upper power steering hose... just put a clamp on it. It's now starting to leak a bit. How hard are these to replace? seems rather easy from the looks of it. and Once replaced, is there any trick to bleeding the lines? Thanks all.

Darryl&Rita Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Two wrenches, each end. Always use a backup wrench when loosening or tightening hose fittings. Remember, "Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey". After replacing, start the engine, move the truck slowly while steering side to side. Don't steer in place, that's called "Dry steering" and doesn't do your power steering system any good. Hard on seals, heats up the pump, stresses the steering box mounts, and wears the tires. Check the fluid levels, and you're done.
