I have the sohc power steering lines still and i was wondering if there was a write up that shows how to install and use the dohc lines? I was looking under my car earlier and wasnt sure about what I take off and what i leave on.

you remove everything.High pressure line from the pump that goes to the rack. Then the return which goes from the rack up to the reservoir. The reservoir and the hose that goes from the reservoir to the pump.

Then you reinstall the entire dohc power steering setup

^^^would love to see pics of that setup. I've always removed everything from the two lines at the rack...all the way to the resevoir. Replacing it all with dohc stuff. Again, I would love to see pics of the sohc setup being used just so I wouldn't have to do that next time I do a swap in a piggy.

Yeah, if you had pics or maybe a small write up on how to use the sohc lines that would be cool. If not I am just going to uninstall everything and just use the dohc lines.

Creative bending is right...make sure you don't kink the lines. It's definitely worth a shot though.

So i tried but the screw that connects the line to the pump is too big. Im going to try and switch it with the one from a dohc setup tomorrow.
