[s-cars] Power Steering Hose Replacement

[Steve Mills]

Spokane House of Hose has a good record rebuilding the pump to
accumulator/bomb (otherwise known as the "J") hose. However, pretty much
any hydraulic shop should be able to do the same without the turnaround due
to shipping. I've used Pirtek successfully on a few occasions- just make
sure they know that the hose is for a mineral oil system.

One thing to be careful about is the length on the J-hose is fairly
critical- a bit short and you won't be able to start the bolt on the bomb
end. Don't ask me how I know this, but the Pirtek guy rebuilt it longer for
free ;-)
