'02 95 3.0t wagon rear power steering hose replacement Posted by thewheell22 [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Hello all, my Cassidy II, a 6 cyl autobox developed a leak in the metal portion of the rear power steering hose, high pressure line (w/banjo bolt). I've got a ProParts Swed replacement en-route.
Anyone done this? As is true for numerous parts on this, it's in a damnable place.
WIS describes dropping the Sub-Frame from the Body! ... by .."remove the rear engine mounting nut"..."detach rear muffler from catalytic converter... and rear exhaust manifold and swing and strap to the side"... "Mark the position of the sub-frame relative to the body"... "remove the reinforcement plates" ... "slowly (no sh#t) lower the sub-frame. Use a pillar jack"... Well I like an adventure as much as the next guy, buttttt...I've got jack stands positioned at the forward jack points on the body, do I place my lift jack under the sub-frame cross member or the oil pan? What do I mark? Is there a lot of play in replacing the reinforcement plates? I'm a bit nervous and flummoxed here.
Any experienced fellow traveler thoughts are MOST Welcomed. Thanx! Rick
