Default Help Needed (Building engine back up) Power steering

Hi Guys

Me being the complete amatuer that i am i have snapped the metal pipe for the power steering, Its the one that bolts to the underneath of the pump, It has a round attachment that a bolt goes through, ive snapped it at the rack end.

It snapped so easily lol.

Ive looked at pics of new racks and it does not appear to come with it but i cant see how it detaches from the rack.

I cant put the engine in until ive done this so need help asap

Cheers Guys

Rob

there will be a small 10mm bolt between the pipes that go to the pump/resivour

undo this small bolt and youwill be able to remove both pipes and replace the one you want to change

easy as pipe once you can see the bolt
