trying to do this right now on the 318is. there are three hoses, two of which are in really tight places. I managed to change the hose that runs from the resevoir to the pump, but cant get to the two that bolt onto the steering rack. anyone what size bolts these are?

tight? i replaced all p/s hoses on my 318is and it was far from tight. remove the airbox this might help. also remove the resivor and start the banjo bolts on the steering rack, & pump before you connect the other side's of the hoses to the resivor. this will help align them, and dont overtighten the banjo bolts, dont forget the are hollow.'91 318is
