I am in the middle of replacing the hose of the reservior (that goes to the cooler) and its an aftermarket hose with a reducer. Should I reuse the reducer or not?

Thanks,
Gio

What reservoir is this?

Holly crap, I left the most important part out.

The powersteering reservior. :-)

What cooler are you talking about? There are hoses from pump to res, and from res to rack. Don't know of any coolers in the circuit. Also, a pic would be good - as to the reducer, on the high pressure line, the hose does have a reducer in the middle of it, but you should not try to reuse that - I would not rebuild that hose if it is leaking, but get a new one. It is a bit expensive.

If its the one that goes to the nipple that used to have the crimp fitting on it, I am using some hydraulic hose and a clamp. Dwayne went that route on a write up a while ago and I am almost done. I will post if there are any issues. There is supposed to be little pressure on that line.

Same as Patrick here.

Linderpat, there is a PS cooler line that starts just underneath the reservoir and loops under, and in front of the radiator.

I am refering to the other hose that is about 10-12" long. The reducer looked like it did not belong there so I installed the new hose without the reducer.
