Replaced both ps hoses at once. They are thicker than factory so they won't both fit through sleeve. Best to wrap one separately in protective sleeve and remove guide bracket next to battery to fit through firewall opening

Go ahead and drop the front axle so you can get to the right-hand side fitting. Remember when you pull the front axle pivot bolt that it is sealing the front axle oil so you either need to drain the oil or don't let the axle pivot on its side or the oil will run out. I used ty wraps to keep the hose from rubbing on the engine oil pan by tying it to the left-hand side hose on that side.

I already had the engine removed because this hose rubbed through the drain pan. I had to remove the power steering distributor to get a wrench on the line. The line sent was much larger in diameter than the original and fishing it through the sheath with the other line was a no go. Had to remove the other line from the sheath, fish the larger one first, and then fight the other one in as well. It was a bear. Tape or plug the lines so no foreign debris could enter the lines.

The hose fit great, however on a BX, getting to the right side due to the frame was difficult. I took off tie rod and steering coupler in order to access hose fitting. When tightening the hoses, connect them at the steering wheel because once you tighten at the steering coupler, the hose do not move at the steering wheel.
