Power steering leak

mikeadams1985 · May 14, 2016

Does anyone have a diagram of the power steering hoses, i have a leak, suspected from the hoses
From removing the front grill i can see its coming from behind the radiator bottom left, but not from the steering box, do the hoses go that way? if so, best way to get at them?

pipes run across from lhs to box and are secured to the front cross member below rad, if you remove rad cowl youll see better

mikeadams1985 · May 14, 2016

im no mechanic so hence me looking for a diagram to try and find something to assist me

cowl or just the top fan cover

cowl surrounds the rad secured by 2 screws into top of rad

any idea if this can be removed without taking off the fan?
had a good wiggle about and cant seem to shift it without taking the fan off and don't fancy splashing out on a couple of "special" spanners.

fans needs to come off and 1 spanner is enough with a lump hammer to shock nut undone,otherwise you hit each flat of nut in its center in turn with a long flat headed punch till unscrews by hand

Undid my fan earlier, just t see if I needed the second pulley locking tool,

Fan spanner on iirc 36mm fan nut, one light tap with a mallet and hey presto, it undid very easily. be aware it is a std thread so you tap it anticlockwise.
