To make a long story short, my car originally had power steering but then I swapped in a B18C1...I had the intention of buying all the power steering brackets for the GSR, but then I realized how easy it is to drive a hatchback with no power steering.

So, I've started cleaning up my engine bay (removing unused brackets, taping up all loose wires, etc.) and I've hit a snag with the power steering...


Where do these lines go to? How hard is it to get them out (is headlight removal, etc. necessary?)? I know that the lines heading to the right lead straight to the steering rack, but the ones going to the left head towards the radiator area...



They change to the rubber hoses and then hit (I'm assuming) some kind of cooler...

 

bump for help

pics no worky

 

The first set was done with photobucket...here's some with tinypic

they go to the power steering rack. its a fiar bit of trickery to get those lines off while the steering rack is still all bolted in but it can be done. you just need small hands and a small ratchet or ratcheting box end wrenches.

 

I'm talking about the ones that go towards the front of the car, I know that the others go to the steering rack itself.

The ones heading to the left (in the pictures) go towards the radiator area...not sure to what though

 

There is a fluid cooler that runs to the front on certain models.

 

That's what I was thinking.

Any idea on how hard it is to get it off?

Not terribly difficult. On some cars, it's easier if you remove the radiator/ac condenser brackets and a few other bolts to allow a bit more room to maneuvre.

 

M'kay, thanks for the help.

 

dont forget to loop the rack, low and high pressure lines.
