A. Locate the supplied power steering relocation
block. Install the two supplied alignment dow-
els into the back side of the block. (See Fig.
5-a.)
B. Locate the factory hose clamp securing the
lower radiator hose. Orient the clamp to give
clearance for the P/S relocation block.
C. Install the supplied power steering relocation
block onto the cast power steering mounting
bracket that the pump originally mounted to.
Make sure the alignment dowels align with
their corresponding holes on the stock brack-
et.
D. Use the four supplied 8mm x 1.0" x 40mm
SHCS and 8mm washers to secure the relo-
cation block to the stock bracket.
E. Install the secondary mounting plate to the
three hole pattern on the side of the reloca-
tion block with the supplied 3/8"-18 x 1" flat-
head screws. (See Fig. 5-b.) Tighten the 3/8"
screws.
F. Place the power steering pump against the
installed relocation block. Make sure that the
stock alignment dowels are installed into the
back of the power steering pump. Secure the
pump to the lower set of four holes in the
relocation block using the stock hardware.

A. Cut the previously removed high-pressure
power steering line in two places.
• The first cut is directly after the long rub-
ber section of power steering line. Cut
the hard line leaving the maxumum
amount of straight section connected to
the rubber end. (See Fig 6-a, 6-c.)
• The second cut through the hard line will
be on the pump side. Cut the line so that
the maximum section of straight tube
remains with the fitting that connects to
the power steering pump. (ZX3 Models
refer to Figs. 6-b,6-d.) (SVT Models:
refer to Figs. 6-f, 6-g.)

NOTE: It is necessary when cutting the power
steering lines that the cuts are straight and
clean. It will be necessary to remove the
paint on the lines before installing the com-
pression fittings. Do not “grind” the paint
off of the lines as that will reduce the diame-
ter of the line so that the new fitting may
not properly function.

Using wrenches, continue 1-1/2 turns so
that the fitting is secure.
