Finally had some time to work on the Bobcat.
Power steering hoses were entertaining. My Bobcat has the 2.8 liter, so there is less room to get to things. I finally was able to remove the pressure line from the back of the pump, but there was only 1 position for the flare wrench to access and turn the 3/4 inch (I think) fitting. Use the flare wrench, a standard wrench can't get access.
Underneath the car, the pressure line connects to the rack via an extended piece of tubing that is real conveniant. Five minutes and the line was removed and the new one installed.
I was going to replace the return hose also, but it connects to the back side of the rack, and I think I have to drop the rack. Not knowing what that entails, I figured it could wait until winter, want the car back on the road for the summer
As to the person who asked about routing, I will get some pictures tonight. I have AC in the Bobcat, so the power steering pump sits beneath the AC compressor. The hose routing goes up the back of the pump, then forward to the front of ac compressor and then straight down. To keep the pressure line from contacting the AC pulley, there is a bracket connected to fender that the holds the pressure line. A separate bracket wraps around the host and is held onto the fender bracket with a screw.
My Bobcat is pretty much as it left the factory 50 years ago. Every part I have replaced has been a factory part; shocks, spare tire, and the power steering pressure line. I am pretty impressed with the engineering in this car.
Next I need to replace the v belts
