So here I am. Leaving the island 1st week of September and need to sell my 92 SVX. I need to replace one of the steel power steering lines with the good lines in my 92 SVX parts car. The problem is I can barely get to it with my wrench and its extremely corroded and just barely started to strip so I don't want to touch it anymore risking further damage. Ont op of that while I was under there I noticed my D/S CV boot needs replacing too My main thing is just getting this stupid frickin nut off without messing it up. I'm already concerned about finding a buyer since nobody likes the SVX, but I def won't be able to sell it if its broken Because its the power steering I can't even drive it anywhere to fix it so its stuck in my carport (which also pi$$es me off cause thats where I park my black pearl but she's stuck in the sun till I can fix the burgundy and get her out of the way. My "friend" (not anymore) sent 2 of his buddies over to "help" they were methheads and did more damage than anything and I had to call the cops on them (long story) Its not been my week. I found a mobile mechanic from Ewa. I called and he said to text him what the problem was and what kind of car and engine I had. Never heard back from the guy. This is turning into an epic fail I'm tired of dumping money into a car that I might not even sell in time and if thats the case I maybe I should strip all the parts I put on and call up the junk yard Any suggestions?

Travis is a long time friend, and he does mobile auto repair as a side job. He works full time with BAE on base fixing military vehicles, but does about 3 or 4 side jobs a week. He can come to your location, and work on your car. Just tell him, his brother Dave referred you...

If he doesn't answer his phone, just leave a Text. I found that this is the best way to get a responce back.

 

lol im still able to help if you'd like

 

Crowfoot didn't work, Kris you're more than welcome to come over and try Dave thank you so much I am going to call your brother

 

At this point it's probably easier to disconnect the lines from the pump and reservoir to get enough slack to drop the rack out so you can get proper tools around the hose connections that are stuck.

You wouldn't need to pull the whole rack out from the car just drop it enough to where it's workable. Once it's out plug the lines on the rack with something and take a wire wheel on a drill and clean up the corrosion then take a grinder and lightly clean up the flats if its slightly stripped.
