steering pump as possible. The remote power steering reservoir
should also be mounted higher than the power steering pump. The
radiator core support works well as a mounting location for the
reservoir in most cases.

Tech Tip:

Install the proper adapter into the Rack/Box. Do not use Teon tape or pipe dope,
this can get into the system and do substantial damage. Inverted are ttings should
be torqued to 25-24 ft/lbs and O-ring ttings should be torqued to 20 ft/lbs.

Step 1: Prepare the ttings and adapters for installation. Use the guide below to select the correct adapters for your application.

Compare the existing hose ends to the adapter if you are unsure of the box/rack that you have.

not recommended and may allow the hose to collapse. If a bend is required keep the
radius open.

Supply line length

Place hose in a vise without crushing it. Cut hose square to length with a ne tooth hack

•

saw or cut off wheel (Important! Make sure that your cut is square!).

Remove hose from vise and remove tape slowly. Deburr the inner Teon hose and trim

•

away any stray stainless braid.

Blow out the inside of the hose to clear any debris. Debris that is left in the line may

•

cause substantial damage.

Finish by cutting the pressure and return lines the same way.
