Hey guys I've spent the past day or so researching but just want to get some last minute opinions. Mine seized and I have a remanufactured one from Autozone; just need to get it up and running. Obviously I'd like to get rid of the whining noise but that's a secondary.
I've had no luck finding 3/8 hose by the foot and don't know if I should be changing the specialty hoses as well. Also read about teflon o rings but I think thats for the specialty hoses. Either way I need to get this back up and running tomorrow which I'm sure I can do without replacing hoses. It'll probably still whine and it might still leak. I know it leaked but not sure where; I at least think it was leaking from the pump to reservoir initially and after it sat for about 3 months it started to leak really bad losing so much fluid in 2-3 days that it was basically manual steering. I'm not sure if it was the same leak that got worse or if new leaks developed.
Autozone, Oreilly's, PepBoys don't have hose by the foot and NAPA has to special order it and it's $20 for 3 feet.
