How to replace power sterring hose S80 T6

Help! I need the correct procedure to replace the pressure power sterring hose in a 1999 Volvo S80 T6. What parts do I have to remove to connect the new hose? I was only able to remove the old one by bending it and cutting it. I just can't figure out a way to snake the new one in.

Thank you.

Re: 1999 Volvo S80 T6 - won't start

Hello All, Thank you for all the responses. I found the problem. The Starter was bad. When I installed the Starter I connected the small wire between the terminal and the housing. NOT on the connector! So, when I retraced my steps I connected it correctly and Bingo, it started. I feel good that I re...

Thanks for the response, I took the battery to O'Reilly's and they checked with the fancy meter. I checked the battery cables to ensure they are making good contact, I am dumbfounded. Any other ideas? I tired jumper cables connected to a good battery with the car running. Same results.

Re: Oil leak - Valve Cover - spark plugs

After attempting to take the valve cover off, not being able to, because you need a special tool to hold the cam shafts, I took it to the dealer. $2,800 later I had a worse leak because I warped the valve cover trying to break it loose. Once you do that the only fix is to replace the cylinder head. ...

The spark plug bays for 4 and 5 were full of oil as well as number 6 with a smaller amount of oil. I am afraid to even pull the plugs now. Whe...
