    Power steering pump and hose Replacement

    I was looking around the forums and other places to see if anyone had any instructions on taking off power steering hoses and pump. I have a leak and I cant find it. I'm just going to replace it all, I have a buddy that gave me a deal on his power steering pump and hoses. Let me know if I'm looking in the wrong place or if you guys have any info on the subject. Thanks.

    Get the all purpose UV dye and put it in. Use the UV light to find where the leak is at.
    Don't just throw parts on it.

      clean up all the power steering parts, fill up with fluid, pop the hood and inspect all the lines, the pump, the rack, and the actual reservoir. you'll see the fluid....
