Power Steering lines
how much trouble is it to replace the power steering lines? Do you have to bleed the system once the new lines are installed or do you just install the new lines and add power steering fluid?

First, Mortgage the house, sell the kids into slavery...oohh wait,,, THOSE power steering lines.....
anyway
,,,, yeah you can just replace them, BUT when you put new fluid in....start jeep( engine running), turn wheels all the way right, add fluid....turn wheels all the way left, add fluid. then turn wheels left-right full stop several times, 5 to 10 times, see where fluid level is.
make sure when you put serpentine belt back on its tight tight tight!!!
(you know what I mean).
thats pretty much it.
