Subject:Power Steering lines replacement (was: Got Shifter Bushings?)
From:Peter DiFalco
Date:Tue, 4 May 2010 09:39:17 -0700

Sorry I hijacked the thread with an off-hand comment about trying to
prioritize my shifter repair with another seemingly innocuous power steering
fluid leak. Thanks for the link, replacing those lines looks a project that
I might want to do this summer. After I do the gas tank reseal... not to
hijack again.

Cheers,
Peter
