Following the discovery of oil on the drive under the front of the van instead of the rear for a change,traced it to the power steering pipes can't tell if it's supply or return,They both look equally corroded. I am wondering if the pipes are secured to body behind the fuel tank, or is possible to cut them and pull them through without dropping the tank? Its a JX diesel, If I have to drop the tank,how easy/hard is it? Any advice appreciated, Cheers Kevin.

Get the rubber pipes from brickwerks and put them through the space on top of the fuel tank. Remove the long rear pipes and just cut and leave the front ones in place, no need to remove the fuel tank.

The rears are in good condition, may have been replaced previously, the front one's are shot from the rack to behind the fuel tank. It seems cheaper to replace the whole lot with the brickwerks kit rather than individual front one's. thanks for your reply.
