Can't find any DIYs for only the pressure line, but it looks pretty simple. Can anyone confirm that the process is basically:

1) lift up/support car
2) open up P/S reservoir and pump out as much fluid as possible
3) disconnect P/S pressure line at the 2 points where it connects
4) install new line with new washers on both sides of banjo bolt
5) refill P/S fluid, move rack back and forth, refill, drive a short distance, refill

What are torque specs for the 2 bolts on the line?
What's the recommended P/S fluid from Autozone or Advanced Auto?

Here's the part:

Makes sense to me, although I don't actually know if that's the correct procedure.

Apparently you put CHF 11s (https://www.ecstuning.com/b-pentosin-parts/smg-hydraulic-unit-fluid-chf-11s/chf11s~smgkt/) in... ? I've always used ATF, but just heard that this is oe.

I believe the user anandoc has replaced his p/s lines, you might ask him.
