Default 93 Full Size Power Steering Line Replacement??

My 93 Full size Blazer is going to need to have the power steering line replaced and was wonder if there is a write up on it anywhere or any tricks that make this easier??

I did a search and all i could find was the Power Steering cooling line..

I need the one with the two hard metal ends/hose and the rubber hose in between, im guessing thats the main Power steering line.

But i already have the line and just wondering what the easiest way to get it put on with little leakage and no air in the system..

Thanks in advance for the help!!

It's as simple as it looks. I did mine like three weeks ago. It was leaking pretty bad every time I turned the wheel it would just shoot out everywhere and the engine bay was so hot it would just start smoking. Just make sure you have something under the rig so all that fluid won't spill everywhere

one tip is if the line is really rotted into the gear box, before you try putting a box end on it and stripping it up, just break or cut the line if you can then put a socket on it, way easier. also make sure if the lines have a o-ring on the end of them that new ones are installed on the new lines or they will leak like crazy

i havent done one in a while i dont remember how hard the lines are to get at at the back of the pump

Use the correct wrenches (line wrench) to take them off and put them on. Regular open ended wrenches booger the fittings up.

Line wrench
