POWER STEERING HOSES

When a hose is either reinstalled or replaced, the follow­
ing points are essential:
• Route hoses in the same position they were in before
removal (figures 34 through 42).
• Route hoses smoothly; avoid sharp bends and
kinking.
• Tighten the pump end hose fitting, gear line fitting,
and booster line fitting to "Specifications" at the end of
this section.
• After hoses are installed, check for leaks while the
system is being bled. Refer to "Bleeding the Power
Steering System" in this section.
NOTICE: Do not start the engine with any power
steering hoses disconnected, or damage to the
components could occur.
