Replacing The High Pressure Power Steering Hose

[Scott]

Gardner, why would you do that??? I mean really! Why not fix the
problem the PROPER WAY. Never ceases to amaze me why one would not
fix problems properly as opposed to simply "cutting the wire" or
trying to recreate an ingenious way to hide the real problem...These
old coaches are not cheap to fix properly and/or maintain to a
certain standard. Go ahead and put the steering of a 30,000lb plus
coach driving 60+mph in the hands of a "windsheild washer sump pump"
while driving on the freeway around Atlanta!! or Wash DC. When the
hose blows off the end..and looses all the fluid then that silly pump
will not keep up. Please do not hurt your self or your family (or
worse others) to save a few $$!
