Just wondering what is the easiest way to remove the power steering lines. My high pressure PS lines has started to weep and I want to catch the leak before it gets worse. I am not sure if Castle Hill Toyota have the lines in stock else its Pirtek time.

The UZZ31 power steering lines is easy to remove but I haven't done a UZZ32 power steering.

Any hints and help would be great.

Thanks.

Manage to remove the high pressure pipe and found to have ALOT of hairline cracks in the pipe. Hopefully Castle Hill Toyota has the part I need in stock, else its Pirtek.

I had just the 2 main high pressure hoses remade at pirtek in Newcastle and it cost me $240. I thought that was a bit hot but genuine are many times that price

Dave I haven't tried it yet because I also need an ECU. I was aware that there could be a problem with aftermarket hoses so I checked with Pirtek and the original hose is 10mm bore and the new one is 9.7mm. I don't think .3mm will be any problem at all

Now the car is running, the power steering is heaps quieter with the Pirtec hoses, than what it was with the originals. I can only assume the original leaking hoses had also swollen up inside and were restricting oil flow.
