Thread: P10 Power steering pressure hose replacement: Tips, tricks, advice?

Just ordered a new power steering pressure hose for my P10 and I'm looking for any pointers/advice on the replacement. This is my 6th SR20 in twenty years and the first time I had to mess with this hose. So far I have two questions...

1) I believe the bolts are 24mm. Can anyone confirm?
2) Can I get to the fitting on the pump from the wheel well?

ill check tomorrow when i go out and look at mine but it should be fairly easy if im not mistaken.

I dunno, I messed with it with the engine out of the bay.

you might be able to get through the wheel well but i always went from underneath the car. its going to be a pita so dont get discouraged

Aw phack, I figured as much. 24mm bolts? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

24mm bolts? Anyone? Seriously.

Ill check tomorrow. But yes preferably go under the car,much faster.

97% sure its 24mm. Do your self a favor when trying to loosen the top bolt and use a impact gun if you have it, when you crank that bolt hard with a ratchet you may break the hard line n wanna kill yourself.

Yeah just go from underneath. I just did one not to long ago and going to remove another at the junk this weekend.

Along with what others have said don't forget fresh copper washers...4 IIRC...oh and if you go from underneath keep your mouth closed when you loosen and remove it lol!

The more I read here the more I'm leaning towards having the garage install it. Not to mention this weather just won't let up...
