    Default Damn Rain

    I took the grill off. Headlight surrounds off. Bumper off. And suddenly it pours!

    Tomorrow i guess i'll remove the Drivers headlight and see if replacing these power steering hoses is going to be really impossible, or just sort of impossible. I think i'll remove the charcol canister too, that'd give me pretty good access.

    But blast that brake booster! its in the worst spot possible. can i convert my car over to some system that doesn't require one?!

    did i mention how unimaginably easy it was to get the bumper off? everyone should do it once, if they haven't already, only for the experience.

    LMAO... do you have the write up on adjusting the steering box? That might give you some insight as to the hoses your doing.

    I've read it sometime.. somewhere. its someplace. =) right now i'm only tackling the low pressure side, so it won't be too bad.

    I might just start another post about this, but will using ATF instead of chf11s actually damage the system? I don't have LAD or servotronic, and i live in a very pleasent climate, so i'd really rather just toss ATF in if i can. i serioussssly doubt the hoses and seals will care at all which fluid i use in the system.

    atf should be fine, the problem comes from people using power steering fluid, sort of like people using dot 3 brake fluid and wondering why the master cylinder grommits disolved
