Power Steering Hard Line
In the process of swapping out my power steering high pressure line and have the soft line to the pump removed and just have the hard line left. It's disconnected from the rack, I just can't seem to remove it from the bay. Is there a bracket on it that is tucked away? I can't seem to see anything from the top or underneath that says it's mounted, but it's in there pretty firmly which has me thinking it is.

If you read my initial post you would notice that I said I can't see anything... As for feeling, tried that, but the area is so clustered with lines that I'm unable to do that. Asking questions before I have to take apart a whole bunch of other stuff to pull out one line.

It is bolted down via 2 10mm bolts on the tension rod bracket.... jack up the car and look from the bottom... there might be a plastic retaining clip holdn it aswell but the should pop right off(dont really remeber)

That bracket you're talking about is where the sensor is. That is out, it's the short hard line that connects to it that runs between the strut tower structure and the front subframe back to the steering rack. I thought it might have been a plastic clip holding it in, but no matter which way you pull the line it's in there solid as if there is a clip holding it.
I've checked out a bare front subframe that I had to see if there were any mounting holes and I couldn't see any. At this point my main concern is that line has a support welded to it that mounts to the hard return line that comes out next to it. |

It's not the cooler line... The factory cooler line is a long loop, not a shorter and straight hardline. That also said, the cooler isn't on the high pressure feed side it's on the low pressure side before the return... It's the line that directly feeds into the rack from the high pressure soft line. It IS however connected (well previously was) next to the line that has the cooler loop in it.

Without pics how else do you expect us to help you?
You've been on here for 9 years and haven't noticed that people on Zilvia aren't the nicest? He hasn't broken any rules. These cars are some of the easiest to work on. You can stop reporting the posts.

I gave up trying to remove that hard line, so I just cut it on both ends and left a small stub. I suggest you do the same. |

For anyone in the future reading this. That bolt is very hard to get to. You will need a 10mm wrench, nothin else will fit and even then you might strip it like me. So remove the rubber bushing holding the two lines together by pushing it out of the metal bracket with a flat head. Then get metal shears or anything that can cut the hardlines and pull the lines out from the bracket thats holding it. Make sure its the last thing youre trying to remove cause you need to wiggle it out. It pisses me off cause I was hoping when I clicked this thread I would hopefully have a solution to removing but nope. Just typical Zilvia shit. This place is really only useful to buy stuff at this point.
