Replacing Power Steering Hoses to Steering Box
Fellow Wanderlodgers,
I'm working to replace all my power steering lines. I've got nearly everything off, except, I have not yet found a good way to remove the lines from the steering box itself. On my 83 FC-35, the steering box is so stuffed between the battery box and frame rail, I can't even see it, nevermind reach it. I went through previous posts and found one that recommended removing the drivers seat, rolling back the carpet, and exposing an access plate on the floor. I tried that - turns out my model does not have a plate above the steering box. Anybody have any experience in this?? There must be an easier way that I'm missing... Bluebird usually has a way that everything can be removed.. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! Andy |

Replacing Power Steering Hoses to Steering Box
Andy,
On our 88 FC, I was able to remove the batteries, Lay on the ground and use a crows foot on a long extention, Needed a helper with the wrench to place it on the nut with each 1/4 turn. You may need to rearrange some wireing harnesses.
