Been there, done that, got the scar. I feel for you champ.
You are right with the power steering cooler. I fitted it up today and had a go at using the shortened rigid lines. One sealed good, but the other had a steady drip at idle. I'll take one of the banjo bolt fittings to work tomorrow and see if I can find somewhere in town to fix me up if I get the chance.
Auto parts stores, Oh My God! I went to Repco today to get some power steering hose. The dumb B itch behind the counter told me they don't sell hose for Toyotas, only Fords and Commodores. I tried to explain to her that the hose doesn't care if it gets fitted to a Toyota because it is a standard size. She went out the back to ask her 'manager', and came back and told me they only sell Holden and Ford parts. I know for a fact Repcos usually keep rolls of fuel line, transmission hose etc out the back of the shop. I have now given up on Repco. It is dead to me.
