Had to replace mine allso as far as I am aware the pipe & fitting has to be replace as one unit cause the fitting locks on the pipe and carn"t be removed once fitted ( it is the last peice to connect up once you have the pipe in place ) the hole unit cost $140 odd from Ford... my old pipe is still in the shed waiting for a mate from Enzed to look and see if he can make a cheaper alternative ..
P.S you need real long arms to get the pipe back ware it came from or a helper. its a pig of a thing . also don"t clip the fitting on the pipe till it"s back in it original place .. Cheers Whoosha

By using a grinder or die grinder ever so carfully grind the old fitting off without hitting the main power steering line ,it takes a while but beats paying $200 odd dollars for a new one
