have an issue with my ps rack...

By brandoff88
- Mon Mar 24, 2014 8:50 pm #343687 so figured out where all the ps fluid came from that made its way all over the engine bay...apparently theres a rubber hose going from one side to the other and are attached to the dust boots or whatever they are called and each one has a plastic nipple that the hose attaches to. the driver side nipple broke and was spraying everywhere...whats the best way to go about fixing this without disassembling the whole front end...can I superglue the nipple back to the plastic piece, or some other form of adhesive? aghhh this is the only thing holding me up right now..aside from waiting for my brake line to get here...I just keep finding little shit I have to fix..i hope its easy.

However, I don't see it on the honda parts website:

Since oil is involved, I don't think glue will hold up well.

What about a universal vacuum line fitting such as these:

I've bought similar from regular parts stores like advance & auto zone. They have variety of sizes.

- Fri Mar 28, 2014 5:00 pm #343825 so I looked at some diagrams and it seems the boots just cover the rack and are just filled with fluid...I was also thinking I could remove the clamp by the inner tie rods and shove it back and fish out the little piece of plastic then put it back on? anyone had to do this...I fucking hate powersteering but im not going to delete it since its already there...
