9. Un-thread the tube nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the power steering pump (Fig. 19).
10. Remove the power steering pressure hose.

INSTALLATION
1. Install the power steering pressure hose into the engine compartment from the top. First, guide the pump end of the hose under the pump, then route the rest of the hose along the right side of the engine. Guide the gear end of the hose down behind the engine towards the power steering gear.
2. Using a lint free towel, wipe clean the open power steering hose end and the power steering pump port. Replace the used O-ring with new. Lubricate the O-ring with clean power steering fluid.
3. Install the power steering pressure hose into the outlet fitting on the bottom of the power steering pump (Fig. 19).
4. Thread the tube nut into the pump outlet fitting (Fig. 19) and tighten it to a torque of 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
5. Install the hose into the hose routing bracket aligning it as shown and attach the bracket to the engine mount dragon head along with the ground strap (Fig. 19). Tighten the screw to a torque of 12 Nm (105 inch lbs.).
6. Raise the vehicle.

CAUTION: The power steering fluid hoses must remain away from the exhaust system, vehicle components, and unfriendly surfaces that can cause possible damage to the power steering hoses.

7. RHD only - Install the bolt attaching the power steering fluid pressure hose routing clamp to the engine (Fig. 18). Tighten the bolt to a torque of 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.).
8. Using a lint free towel, wipe clean the open power steering hose end and the power steering gear port. Replace the used O-ring with new. Lubricate the O-ring with clean power steering fluid.
9. Attach the power steering fluid pressure hose to the port on the power steering gear (Fig. 16) (Fig. 17). Start the tube nut threads into the gear. Do not completely tighten at this time.
10. LHD only - Open the tube clamp on the right side of the gear and insert the pressure hose tube (Fig. 16). Close the clamp.
11. Tighten the pressure hose tube nut at the gear to a torque of 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
12. Lower the vehicle.
13. Perform the POWER STEERING PUMP INITIAL OPERATION procedure.
14. Check for leaks at all hose connections.
