my pressure line from the hydroboost to the power steering pump is screwed up and going to have to be replaced, Ive never messed with this crap at all....if I replace this line am I going to have to do anything other then fill/burp the power steering system like normal?

thanks for any help

I flush mine every couple of years and all I do is unhook the return line and stick it in a bucket, start the car and keep filling the reservor until it comes out clean. Hook the hose back up,top off the fluid and cycle the wheel left to right a few times and check for leaks.

I understand that part, just not sure about where the pressure line connects to the hydroboost since I have to remove it

I guess what I am saying is just R&R the hose and fill it up and cycle the wheel to purge the air.
