This is a DIY on a 2000 Infiniti I30 on how to remove and replace a power steering pressure hose .
This hose is located on the passenger side by the back of the motor near the fire wall , Do not confuse this hose with the A/C hose . In the yellow arrows indicates the hose and the route of the pressure hose . The red arrow shows you that this vehicle comes with a power steering pressure switch . SIDE NOTE - REMOVE THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH FIRST FROM THE HOSE - IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE GONNA BREAK THE SWITCH OR CANNOT NOT REMOVE THE SWITCH I RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO PURCHASE ONE FIRST - THIS IS A DEALERSHIP OR CAR QUEST PART - YOU CANNOT FIND THIS PART ON EBAY - THIS IS A $80 PART .
Then you can remove the power steering hose metal line on the left from the hose then the two bolts that hold the bracket down that holds the hose .
Once you remove the power steering pressure switch ( NOT UNPLUG ) I mean the part then you can slide the hose over to the right then remove the green plug in the red arrow then the bracket that holds the power steering hose to a bracket in back of the motor .
Then you remove the passenger side tire and you will see where the bracket for the sway bar bushing above that will be the easiest way to remove the bottom bolt that holds the hose .
Once you remove that pull the hose from on top out .
Then you just in reverse put the hose back on , Top it off with power steering fluid .
I purchased the hose on eBay where the price was good and the fit was perfect , You might not have to use the bracket to hold the hose because of the protective cover from the heat .
Again make sure you can remove the power steering pressure switch .
