I am trying to get the steering pump out of a 2003 caravan and the bolt on the fluid line is seized on. any tips how to remove it ?? KARA:meant:

Try a can og PB blast. N.H? Im from MA.

I tried that...thanks!!! I also tried heating it up till it glowed to break it free. I tried using a cheater bar for levarage.....If you have any more ideas I would love to hear 'em. ........Kara

Bolt on the fluid line? I looked at ours and it looks to be like an adjustable clamp type of thing, sorry i cant remember what the name of it is. Can you cut it and re-tap?

Is there room for a pneumatic gun in there?

If it is the smaller (high pressure)line at the bottom of the pump, I don't think the nut that goes into the pump is supposed to come out. I think the line unscrews from the back of the nut, should be an o-ring in there too. When it is put on the new pump (with a new oring)torque the pressure hose to the nut to about 275 in/lbs(per my 2000 manual). No breaker bar will be needed. Let us know the outcome.

Hi, it's kara... it was the fluid line, it was flared and seized on the darn van. Had to cut the line,but don't have a bubble flare tool , so I put a compresion fitting on it . I'll keep marshmallows in case it blows up . Thanks for all the help and advise, I really appreciate it.
