1994 GMC Sonoma SLS Z vin
With the kids back in school and winter around the corner, I am planning on replacing my power steering pump before it gets chunky style. I already have all the tools and parts but 1 major question is this. How do you undo rusty steel lines with out ripping them off? My break lines and my gas lines I did this to. As soon as you break it loose, the steel end sticks to the line and it just rips off the end of it. Is there any way to prevent this or is it just guaranteed with these old trucks? In that case is there any easy way to handle these power steering pumps or is there no option besides breaking out the cone kit and making a new end? I mostly want to prevent this for the fact that it's a tight space with a 4.3L and it would be hard to fit hands and tool down there.
