General Maintenance & Repairs - Power steering return hose????

So from what I've read, there are no places to buy a new return line for my '98 Z28. I searched a little bit and from a few threads I've read of people doing different things. Do you guys have any sure fire ways of replacing the return line other than buying used? Please post up specifics on how you did it. Thanks for any help in advance.

Its nice to see you are local. Here is a thread you should check out.

Does your car have the factory cooler? I ordered hose number 14 from the diagram from https://www.1stpontiacparts.com/partscat.html, and have ordered from them many times. They are out of Wasington and have lower shipping than gmpartsdirect.

buy some PS hose......grind off the crimp at the hard line.......replace and use hose clamps.....have a beer

Exactly......I dremeled an old crimp off, exposed the inner metal hose and clamped the factory hose back on it with two clamps. Its an A/C line. Its been there for like 3 years......PICS BELOW.
People said it wouldn't hold for a week. WRONG.....

There's a shop in town here that will take any of our GM hard lines, dremel the old crimp off and re-crimp with new crimp clamps and the appropriate type hose (a/c lines high or low pressure, coolant lines, power steering lines, etc,...) and they will be good as factory new.

Since my engine is out, I'm bringing my factory metal/rubber heater core to water pump hoses to them....$25.00, they give them back with new rubber and crimpes....good as factory new.

Also doing it to the a/c line in the pics below, that line attaches to the back of the compressor and the bottom of the condensor.

You must have a shop like that around you too.....

Thanks for the responses guys, I got a great used set of hoses from a tech member yesterday. If anything goes wrong I know exactly what to do now. Also, if anyone has the same question they can search and get the answer in this thread.
