Accessing power steering fluid lines (radiator line) Clamp -UPDATE
Hi All,
I am in the process of replacing all power steering hoses and lines. I have removed everything except the curved lines as indicated in the attached two pictures. Second pictures is from another post so you know what I am referring to. How do you access number 30 Clamp? What items do I need to remove in order to be able to see them? Car: 1988 Porsche 928 S4 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...e381e4c03f.gif https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...c253ef3ec0.jpg |
It goes towards the bumper, I can not to see them either from underneath the car or above the engine compartment.

In your second picture, I have never seen these lines crossing the back of the front cross member. Is this from a LHD machine?
The PET picture your referencing shows the power steering cooler lines that cross the lower front radiator support. with the hood open you can see this line secured to the lower core support the U part of the line passes under the receiver drier |

Stan - Thanks. I can see the U lines on the radiator support secured with two white clamps. I think the two lines are also clamped at the vertical section. but it is not visible from down or up. l wondering what the trick is?

As Stan says you should be able to see line 29 underneath the receiver drier looking downwards. There was no clamp on the vertical part of this line but I did have to remove the radiator and unbolt the condenser to make enough space to get it out. Duncan |

No lines are aft of the steering box. The only line that crosses the "width" of the car is the cooling loop that goes from left to right near the bottom of the radiator, making a big u-turn back to the reservoir. |
Picture in post #1 is a RHD car.

What threw me off was the OP description was "radiator line" which I took to mean the line that runs along the radiator. I guess he doesn't have that at all, instead he has a "loop line" along the x-member? Jason |
oh man, I really hope I don't have to remove the radiator and A/C parts. Has anybody done that while the radiator is intact?

you should really leave the hard line alone,
cut off the swages with a dremel and refit fresh hose and clamps |
