RE: Power steering hose replacement

["Doug Dykaar" <dykaar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hassan,

Just Been There Done That. Found a hydraulics shop that rebuilds hoses. Did
the work while I waited. They recycled all but one fitting that was too
short to put another fitting on. cost $168 CDN for both hoses. Note that the
85 e28 535 has (I found out later) a flow restrictor in the line to the
steering box. We did put a steel tube, clamped onto the hose, but if there
was supposed to be someting inside the hose, I never looked to find out. I
also replaced all the return lines (dom't forget the ones between the cooler
loop and the hard lines into the engine compartment, and the filter inside
the resevoir.

Have fun,
