I have a leaky high pressure hose from the PS pump, and am debating three options. One is to replace just that hose with an aftermarket (Edelmann 80867), which is available from Amazon for $136. But I can also get the whole OEM piping assembly (49710-JK61A) from Japan for about $200. I could then either replace just the leaky hose from that OEM assembly (option 2) or the whole thing and then not have to worry about another hose leaking. This is for a 2007 G35S 6MT.

How much more of a pain is it to replace everything versus just the descending high pressure hose? Should I even consider the aftermarket Edelmann hose?

Thanks.

 

I got the sunsong one from rockauto a few years ago (the whole line from the pump to the rack) for my '07. it was not terrible once you drop the brace. just take your time and make sure you're not cross-threading the line into the rack fitting. might need a helper for extra hands - i recall i had to call up my wife to hold/line something up for me on the passenger side firewall. very doable job if you've done other diy stuff before. feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

 

Thank you!
