'92 100S - power steering hose fixed

[Nitz Karl-GKN001]

I finished replacing the Power Steering Return Line on my '92 100S last
night.  This project was a bear.  The connection on the steering rack is a
complete pain to get at (I did not want to remove the brake/vacuum booster
as suggested in the Bentley manual).

Thanks go to Peter @ Audionly who suggested using a rubberband around the
threads of the banjo bolt to keep the gaskets and bolt from slipping off as
I guided the fitting to the steering rack.  Once I got the threads started
back in, I snapped the rubber band off and tightened the connection fully.
I did have to bend the fitting slightly to match the bend of the old hose.
This made it easier to get the threads started.  I refilled the system with
1qt. of Pentosin, cranked the wheels L/R and there are no apparent leaks.

There is very little room to reach back to the steering rack and turn the
banjo bolt by hand to start the threads.  A helpful and patient child or
spouse with slender arms/hands would come in handy here.  Mine didn't fit
the bill, as a result my hands and arms are sore and scratched up :)

Hopefully this will cure some of the spots on the driveway.  But, I still
think I'm losing oil from somewhere.
