hoppaz Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hi, I have spent today changing the high pressure power steering hose on my gf's Ka. The old one was pretty rotten and fell to bits when I undid the union and brackets. The new one is in place ready to be connected but I don't know the best way to disconnect the hose from the front of the power steering pump? I have taken a photo to explain the situation. The space available in the small hole at the front of the engine to access the pump connector is not that great and I cant see how the nipple is held into the pump as there is no nut or fixing mechanism. It looks like is may just pull out?? The old connection can be rotated whilst still in the pump so it definately moves. There is a nut in front of this but it would be nigh on impossible to get a spanner in there to undo it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

fortunateson09 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I did that yesterday, and I'm pretty sure you do just push the pipe in. Having said that, mine blew that pipe out the front today and !Removed! oil all over the engine bay, so I may very well be wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubberman20 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi I have the same problem, the blew off so I bought a new union nut but the pipe still blows out of the nut. Any body had this problem? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
