Hi pressure hose replacement on my 2001 Limited
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I looked in the search section for posts on Power Steering Hose replacement but none answered my particular question, so here it is.
What is involved in replacing the Hi Pressure hose myself? It looks easy enough, remove the lines being careful not to strip/damage the bolts/connectors, replace the Hi Pressure hose, replace the Lo side hose, fill power steering unit, and bleed. Seems simple but is it this easy to do? How delicate are the bolts or connectors that connect the lines to the steering box and pump? What should I be careful with? I already know to use a line/flare nut wrench to remove the fittings, anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks for the info everyone

Nope you got it. Only thing I would add is to clean around the fittings very carefully. If they are clean but rusty shoot them with rust buster or something. When replacing lines make double sure not to let any dirt or crap in. Have fun!
