Hey guys, 2003 Acura Tl owner here. Just joined the forums looking for some help! So I have a real bad leak in the power steering return line, number 27 on the diagram below, where it meets 14 and 30. I've looked around at it and it looks like it's going to be a pain in the butt to get out. Anyone know a step by step method of removal? And what is the specific name for that particular line by the way. Having a hard time ordering because there are a few different shaped ones I'm seeing. Thanks

 

Did you get that picture from an online parts guide, or some other source?

The parts guide had part numbers and names.

Are you sure it's the hard line leaking?

Have a look at this online parts guide, if you need to buy.

#27 has OEM part number/description 53779-S0K-A00 Pipe Assembly, Power Steering Combination Return for $63.00+shipping.

Rockauto has a couple choices listed at a savings over OEM; however, fitment on aftermarket parts can be sketchy.

I ordered an IACV (AC229) from them today (rockauto) for a $40+ savings over the local parts store prices/ebay.
