ALONG THE PIPE REPAIR
1. The power steering pressure and return pipes (green pipes on Figure 1) measure 20 ft long
and are made of stainless steel. They are 5/8 OD.
2. To prevent skin burns, make sure that steering fluid has sufficiently cooled before starting the
next steps.
3. Disconnect the blue power steering hoses at each end of the defective pipe. Have a container,
as power steering fluid will drip from the pipe and hose.
4. Plug each blue hose with an ORS plug FF9767-10S.
5. Purge the stainless steel pipe using pressurized air.
6. Locate the puncture on the pipe (
Figure 4). Have a clean container, as power steering fluid will
drip from the pipe once cut. DO NOT REUSE this fluid.
7. Cut the tubing squarely (±1°) both sides of the puncture. Use a hacksaw or abrasive cutting
wheel.

8. Loosen all the pipe and hose clamps (Figure 6) from the cut up to the front of the vehicle.
