Okay so here is a lil story for ya, I live in Thompson Manitoba "pretty far north" and it was about -39C the other night -48C with the wind and I lost the Return/cooler line for my power steering... looked like a 2 liter of coke exploded by the lines a froze instantly... pretty crappy

so I ordered the line and its like 300.00CAD also pretty crappy, going to attempt an install in the next few days just looking for a lil play by play on what I'm going to have to do to replace it if anyone knows much about it, i'm an aircraft mechanic so i'm handy with tools no need to tell me to let the dealer handle it... ill get it done one way or the other, so if anyone has some helpful info or has replaced one before that be great

Thanks guys

hope no one has my bad luck haha

#4 is What I have to replace

Only bit of advice I can offer is that I would consider replacing all the lines. if you had one go bad, the next weak one just might be waiting to go too. (yeah, I know you don't want to hear that considering how much just the one line cost! :shock: )

Oh and since we are on the subject...>insert Amsoil commercial here> Amsoil now has synthetic power steering fluid! I'll be filling mine up w/ that here this weekend.
