    How hard is it to change the power steering pressure and return hoses on a 2004 Grand Prix GT2? Does anyone have step-by-step instructions too?

    Hi dsmuts - happy thanksgiving and thank you for your reply - do you think it can be done using jack stands or will I need a lift?

    jack stands would do, you need a 18 mm line wrench to get the lines off the rack, and theres another line nut to the pump, you need to take the pass front wheel off to get to them from the wheel well.

    the line just clip to the sub frame and loop around. not a bug deal to change.

    the lines on the rack are located on the driver side of the car, you can get them from underneath the car.

    Jacks will work fine. Make sure you use a line wrench because a regular 18mm wrench will round the nut off.
