Power steering line replacement

[driven]

While I have the rad out, I thought I'd replace the leaking power steering lines from the resevoir. This seems to be a common problem. I noticed that the clamps not removable. Is this a high pressure line? Can I cut the line and fit a new clamp, or do I have to replace the entire line (two of them actually)?

The high pressure line on your PAS system may contain as much as 1200 psi. Crimped lines are required for such application, or threaded hydraulic lines with brazed fittings on the hard lines.

there are two low pressure lines that can be replaced with higher quality worm-gear clamps to your advantage.

Thanks

I replaced the clamps, and it seems to have stopped the leaks from the reservoir. Thanks for the advice.
