re: 94 100 p/s hose -- any BTDT?

Thanks for the response, but a 94 100 is a totally different
animal.

Replacing the high pressure hose on a type 44 is IMO easy
compared to the C4. On the newer car you can't even
see the fitting because it is blocked by the vacuum 
assisted brake booster.

Yup, I replaced this in my 200 20v last month.

The rack side is really tight in my car and took me
about an 45 minutes just to loosen the banjo bolt on
the rack.  Had to remove the pentosin bottle to access
that region... not fun to be stooped over for that
long.

To make matters worse I had to remove-install three
times to get the hose rebuilt correctly.  TIP: the
angle of the banjo fittings is important.  Make sure
the hose rebuilder gets it right because you won't be
able to twist a 5000+ psi rated hose.
