Elantra 92: How to replace the feeder tubes on the power steering gear box?

The shorter feeder tube on the power steering gear box developed a
pinhole due to corrosion.

Can these tubes be replaced without removing the gear box from the
vehicle?

14 mm seems to be the wrench size (a 13 mm wrench does not fit while
an open-end 14 mm wrench fits a little loosely for my taste...)

Can these tubes be removed from under the car? The exhaust pipe is in
the way; should I remove it?

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Jean,
If you cant find the right wrench for the job do what I do, Use the
International Canadien Open End Adjustable Metric Cresant Wrench. The Only
wrench you will ever need in your tool box. Along with the Ronco 1 size fits
all screwdriver.

OK GUYZ just let me grab a cup of coffee and Ill be ready for all the snide
remarks. ( snicker )

Elantra 92: How to replace the feeder tubes on the power ste

I think it'll round off for sure if you use an adjustable. There are
special "line wrenches" for this type application that are similar to open
end wrenches, except that the ends of the open end wrap around a little,
allowing you to grab the corners of the nut as well.

As to replacement, I can't offer much advice. I've never had to do it,
and I don't recall enough about the vehicle's layout to provide advice.
