Message: [QUOTE="imelmo, post: 584758, member: 110"] Now the "tough" side; the driver's side. First thing I addressed was the brake lines. I elected to just remove the 3 brake lines from the unit loacted at the front of the fender well, which means I will have to bleed them when it goes back together although not very much came out. These took a 9/16 wrench. A 14mm would go on but was really tight to get on there and a 15mm was too big. Next I removed the coolant reservoir. Just disconnect the two small hoses up top and the large one on the bottom, then remove the two mounting screws using an 8mm. On that large hose that was on the bottom of the reservoir, you'll see another hose that y's off to the firewall. Disconnect it using the channel locks. Then I used a 13mm socket to remove steering shaft locking bolt. You'll have to slide the plastic cover that's on it up to access it. Once you remove the bolt just slide the steering shaft up. Next it gets a little messy. In hindsight, I would like to have used a small pump to empty the power steering reservoir but since I didn't have one I just undid the two lines that go to the pump and let it drain. I then undid the two hydraulic hoses that come off the rear (firewall side) of the master cylinder. I used channel locks to hold the big fitting in place and a 19mm to turn the small fitting. .
