power steering hose

[Guest tv56]

Hi folks! Next project for the 56 special is to

repair the power steering pump and replace the power

steering pressure hose. So I understand the pump can

be repaired with a seal and a few o-rings? Does anyone

sell a rebuild kit for the pump? The hose seems a little odd

in that it is two hoses in one with a metal coupler joining

two different size hoses. Is there a check valve in there?

I thought I would have a hose made locally? Any suggestions?

ALSO, I have to make note that I now have the proper driver's

side exhaust manifold thanks to Mr. Bob Coker. He went out of

his way to help me. I have to say being an old mopar guy, all

of the buick people I've talked to are great people, wish I'd

made the move to buick a long time ago.

Thanks again to you all!

The last powersteering hose that I needed was for a 77 Olds. The ones at the auto parts store did not fit. The bend in the metal ends was wrong. I finally went to a hydrolic hose place and had them put a hose on my ends. I do not remember how it happened but the finished hose had metal shavings in it. It is a good thing that I blew it out before installing it.
