Power steering pressure line removal??

[Silvio Rivera Jr]

Hey guys so I am planning on replacing my car’s ‘pressure line’ pretty soon due to power steering fluid leaking from it… car is a ’96 Altima 2.4L 4-cylinder. I basically just wanted to ask you guys what I should expect when removing a pressure line as I have never removed one before. Is there a recommended procedure or anything to make note of? And how many bolts/nuts should I expect to encounter, also how many gaskets are there usually?

They should be flare nut connections. Make sure you use the correct O
rings. The high pressure O ring is smaller than the low pressure line.
But you are only doing the one line. use a catch pan for any fluid.

Thank you college man, I just bought a small 3 piece set of flare wrenches and they are 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 17mm…. do you think any of these are most likely going to be the right size?
