#11 of 32 Power steering fluid return (?) hose; leak; disaster when tried to repair by autobuff89 Nov 11, 2006 (5:03 pm)
1989 Aerostar van XLT. Steering fluid hose had a leak. The hose is SAE J188 3/8 inch. The hose with its cripms and metal fittings is a very long piece. The part is not easy to find or replace. I could see the tear in the hose where the fluid was oozing. Thought I will do a hose repair by cutting it and inserting a hose repair fitting (metal not plastic) and clamps. I knew this was a high-pressure hose. As I was cutting it with a knife, I cut the rubber but saw a metallic, corrugated-surface 'tube' inside (either a tube or simply the re-inforcement in the hose). Obviously, I could not cut it or repair it. Now the leak is a shower of steering fluid! What to do next? I had no inlking that there is a metal tube inside.

Replying to: fish_oinc (Dec 16, 2006 2:41 pm) Ok Job done,   The hardest part was removing the starter from under the van, you need to remove the front drive axel in order to get it out ,   Starter is located under the drivers side of vehicle 2 bolts it out enough wire to pull it down and remove the cable, relatively easy once I located it and got the an jacked up, I had to lower and move it once in order to get to all the bolts on the drive shaft, just roll it back a few inches and jack it back up again.

Exactly how do you remove the front drive shaft/axel from a 92 aerostar?
#17 of 32 Power Steering Hose by vicki120 Feb 19, 2007 (6:02 am)
Any ideas on how easy it is to change the power steering hose? My husband said mine is leaking. He's good at working on Chrysler cars but is not too sure about Ford and we really cannot afford taking it and having someone fix it. Any help would be very much appreciated. By the way it's a '94 Aerostar.   Thank you. Vicki
