[s-cars] Power steering hose (was Spokane HOH)

[Theodore Chen]

if anybody wants it, i still have the old power steering hose.  it could be used as a core for a rebuild from spokane HOH.  email me if you want it.

by the way, i had to replace the crush washers at the pump end.  the washers i used must have been SAE and were too small.  when i started the engine, lots of pentosin (aka "green gold") ended up on the floor of my garage.  after i removed the banjo bolt, the problem was apparent: the bottom crush washer got caught in the threads of the bolt, and was torn in half.  no wonder there was significant resistance when i was tightening the bolt.

unfortunately, the dealer parts department is closed for the weekend, and i don't know where else to get G004000 (which is the new part number and supersedes G002000) on a weekend.  i know mercedes, volvo, and BMW all use pentosin CHF-11S, but i don't think any of their parts departments are open on the weekend, either.

Use a rubber band wrapped around the threads, and then twisted and  
looped back around the banjo bolt head. Once you get it started, you  
can break or snip the band and remove it.
