OK, so after inspecting the hoses it appears they are leaking just before the banjo bolt connectors that attach to the P/S pump. The connections to the reservoir look good.

How easy or hard is it to replace the hoses. There is not any real description of this in the Bentley manual.

I would seem like you would suck out most of the fluid in the reservoir, drain at the pump, disconnect the banjo fittings at the pump and the hose clamps at the reservoir. Then, snake out the hoses, snake in the new ones, connect banjo bolts and hose clamps, fill, bleed, drive!!

Has anyone done this before? Is it as easy as this or are there some tricks here?

Many thanks,

Robert
