Thanks J. I’m not a car guy ( singer /guitar player ) A mechanic gave me a $700 estimate. Your vid gave me the confidence to at least see if it’s just a rusty supply line. Guys like you are the REAL rock stars !

Thanks for the video. I had the exact same repair with one exception, my daughter let the fluid run low for too long and it damaged the pump. So, new pump and that line. Dealer(Stealer) tried to tell me it needed the high pressure line and complete return line replaced + Pump and that this would cost $1,660. Said the HP line was $730.00. I told them to go jump in a lake!!! Dealers are ripoff artists!!! Took me about 3 hours because I could not get the upper pump pivot (belt adjuster) bolt out without a WD 40 war.

Hey. I just wanted to thank you for the low down. Last night went to drive mine powers steering pump was super loud and steering was rough. Parked. Got the break line this morning and BAM all good. Thanks again

My Highlander's return line just rusted through and I went with this $7 brake line repair instead of $98 from the local parts store (and the part was out of stock). It worked awesome - thanks for the great idea! I little manhandling and a 30" 3/8 line works beautifully.

Hardest part is exposing the line... the plastic sheilds are interwoven around the bumper, only a few broken clips... but it seems easier than replacing with the $100 part. Thanks for the great fix, just what I was looking for and saved some money!

Great video! Little tip for safety always immediately place the wheel and tire you remove underneath the vehicle close to where you are working but just out of the way. In a catastrophic failure of the lifting technique you are using it will give you precious space that could save your life. Be safe and "if the women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy"

This hint is priceless. I am determind to have fun fixing mine myself. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Just did my 2003 highlander. Greattttttt.

Very helpful, wish I saw this before I tried to fix mine.

I drive an 05 highlander, and my power steering went bad. I can’t wait to try this after work. Thanks for the video!

Great video, thank you for the down and dirty look at this fix. Doing mine this week.👍🏻

Thanks for sharing! For me I think its worth paying $150 for the correct part. Your time is $$.

Worked. Kinked the line a lil and real hard to get metal into rubber, but worked great. CAUTION: do not turn car on when turning steering wheel back and forth after fill. Air gets in. After air out and full, pull out old fluid fr fill tank with turkey baster & refill sev times, each time turning wheel... clean fluid...

I appreciate the insight on the return line , I hope that’s where my leak is happening.gonna check first thing tomorrow,thank you

I had the same issue, but I had trouble fabricating the pipe (accidentally kinked it). Instead, I used a metal brush on a drill to expose the bare metal in the areas that are corroded and soldered it. So far so good!

Thanks alot my 04 highlander took a piss on the driveway yesterday. Gonna go pick up that part now. Thanks again.

Great tips. Thanks for posting this video. My 2003 Highlander return hose is rusted & leaking near the front bumper 10mm bolt down. Found whole return hose for about $35 with shipping, so I will opt for that rather then bending my own. I will replace mine next chance I get. Thanks for the details!

Thank you soo much! Have this exact problem on my highlander.

Thank you so much bro I ended up doing the same thing except my hose was maybe only 8 inches of metal but I used a brake line like u said so maybe someone else rigged it up before but regardless bro u helped me fix something I wouldve taken to the garage and probably spent $300 on at the garage so u helped me alot thank u so much man!!!! God bless!!!
