[V8] power steering hose

[kneale at coslink.net]

Can't you go across the back of the engine from the passenger wheelwell
with long extensions like on the 200s?

That's a tricky one.  The first thing you do is get the intake plumbing out
of the way, including the lower portion of the box on the back on the
engine.  I had intended to remove the driver's side distributor but didn't
find that I needed to once I got in there.

Once you get some room to work, it is possible to get a wrench on the bolt.
I used a box-end wrench, if I recall correctly.  Getting the banjo bolt
started back in took some patience.  I used some string wrapped around it a
couple times and through a large straw so I could pull and rotate the bolt
since I couldn't get my fingers down in there.

It's definitely a challenge, but not an impossible one.

Hi,

It's been a while since i posted up on here.  I need some help ASAP.  I'm
working on replacing the high pressure feed line from the power steering
pump to the rack.  I can't figure out how in the world you can get the bolt
out of the rack.

Any help would be awesome.

Sean
