Well, if I get stuck I have a neighbor that seems mechanically experienced I can ask any questions to. Replacing the hose doesn't seem complicated if I could gain clearance to it. I have to see where the hoses run through and what they are secured to. I know which hoses they are and where they connect I just have to find where to feed them through. I have to disconnect the power steering line from the reservoir just to have enough space to stick my hand down and twist off the fill cap to add more fluid. Among tools I have at my disposal I have the following:
- Assortment of tools incl wrenches, ratchets and socket bits, locking pliers, needle nose pliers.
- 2x 2 ton trolley jacks
- 2x jack stands
- Quarts of oil and transmission fluid.
I'm going to do an oil change after purchasing a new oil filter. After replacing the leaky hose I'm thinking about flushing the transmission fluid and replacing the old with new fluid.
For the time being I am saving money in case I decide to have it taken in a shop for repairs. There's minor electrical issues I have to have inspected, minor corrosion on battery terminals, some lower rod (support rod?) off the back rotor that's bent, front-right wheel bearing and a hole in the exhaust that needs to be addressed.
