My 69 sat for about 18 years. I took it out on a shake down ride. Once the engine got warm, I heard a squeal from under the hood. I originally thought it was the belt. After parking it, all the PS steering fluid leaked out over a period of about 3 weeks. I power washed the bottom and added some more fluid and started it up. With the wheels turning, I noticed the fluid is leaking from the hose that comes out of the back of the pump. The control valve and cylinder look good, in fact they look like they are fairly new. My question is replace the hoses, or both the hoses and the pump? I am leaning towards the latter. My next question is the process the same as replacing the control valve? Drain, remove, put everything back on, leave the cylinder hanging and not attached, fill with fluid and start it up, making sure my hands are well clear of the steering wheel. Then reattach the cylinder. Any special tools needed for this, or any other tips???
Thanks
