Notes before fitting
Does not fit automatic
gearbox models
Our replacement pipe
is the modified type. Ford have modified their pipes and the replacement may be
slightly longer than the original so that you can do away with the oil cooler if
you choose to.
Do not fit the one use
nut on to the new pipe first. Screw the nut into its housing then push in the
pipe FULLY.
Fitting guide for reference only
Remove the cover underneath the engine, the driver side
headlight and move the coolant and power steering reservoirs to give better
access.
You may not
need to remove the serpentine belts to fit the new pipe but do your own
research.
The old
hoses are secured to the chassis at 3 points and are accessed from under the
car.
The pipes
are easy to remove underneath to the rear of the engine bay but the 2 in the
engine bay can be a challenge. You may wish to cut the original metal pipe so
that you can get an 18mm socket on the old connector nut to remove it.
Screw your
new connector nut in and then install
the hose/pipe combination. Don’t bolt up the
chassis mountings until the pipes are home as the whole lot is under a bit of
tension when all fitted. The reservoir hose is a simple push fit. IMPORTANT. Screw the nut in to the housing before fitting the pipe. Then you need
to push the pipe fully home into the steering pump connector nut and it’s a
very tight fit,
tighten up the 3 chassis connections and put the reservoirs and headlight back
in place.
Run the
engine, check to make sure there are no leaks and top up the power steering
fluid.
