The rack is leaking and multiple lines (i.e from the reservoir, from the=
 slave cylinder, etc) and the p/s pump are are weeping/leaking too.  So,=
 I'm thinking of just replacing everything "hydraulic" related.   Rebuildi=
ng myself is something to consider, but I'm trying to maximize time too.=
 It's definitely tight behind the 3B and I'm sure I'll be p***** as heck=
 trying to get it out and won't be remotely motivated to do anything but=
 put one right back in.

Thanks,

Marc


-----------------------------------
Marc, I?m not familiar with the ES2 rack.

Is it a low pressure vane pump driven system like the 90 and CQ?

Or a high pressure piston pump system like the 44 chassis cars?

If the former, they are quite bullet proof. Why does it need replacing?

If the latter, also bullet proof, excepting for the high pressure rod =20

seal.

Either is easily rebuilt DIY. The PITA is the R&R.
