I just changed out my rack and pinion after my wife curbed it and bent the tire rod, so this method was similar to what I did. instead of removing the belt I cranked my ignition and turned it back off every ~5 seconds. using an old glass jar to collect the old stuff that was left and filling the reservoir after. that aluminum return line has about 2 inches seated into the rubber so it took quite awhile to work free. as someone said it's best to pull the hose clamp up onto the aluminum because of that. Now my power steering has some whine but I hope it works the air out and goes away

I got quoted 350 in labor to have a mechanic do mine. After 5 days working by myself, $100 in stall fees, and 3 stripped flywheel bolts I decided it was time to let someone else finish the job.

 

This is not for the faint of heart or anyone short on time.

not sure mine look more like the plus though. i'm just going to drop my tranny all the way tomorrow and work from underneath. better leverage and all.

maybe it's just me, but somehow I managed to shred 3 t50 bits trying to get my old flywheel out. I would also like to point out that it is still in place for now.
