Today i fitted a Davies Craig Power Steering Cooler (part #1009) into my VT commodore, as the stock cooling pipe had corroded and was spraying PS fluid absolutely everywhere.. took a few photos while doing it just incase any of you have a similar issue, or feel like installing a cooler to your cars (should be applicable to many makes and models)
Firstly, here is what comes in the kit:
1x Power steering cooler
1x length of hose
4x Hose clamps
4x Through the radiator nylon mounts (didnt use them)
1x Piece of flared pipe with a nut on it (didnt use it)
Additionally, you will need 2 hydraulic hose joiners.
Remove front bar and expose the stock power steering cooler pipe which looks like this
Remove the pipe by undoing the 2 screws on the central mounting bracket, then move on to the bolt thats mounting it to the car body on the left hand side of the radiator. Be patient with this one because its in a bastard of a spot and takes a little while.
After all these screws are removed, move to the rear and remove the 2 hoses that are attached to the cooler pipe. Power steering fluid will go everywhere.
Once the above steps are completed and the pipe is removed, you should end up with something that looks like this.. Throw it as far away as possible.
