I have a 94 Altima GXE- The hose from the bottom of the PS reservoir
is old, cracking and weeping. Any hints on replacing. It's only a
short piece of hose from the reservoir to the metal lines. I assume
that I undo the clamps, fluid will drain out, and then I just replace
the hose. Do I then need to bleed the system or will the system bleed
itself.

thanks in advance
Mike

I have no hints on how you do it, but your timing is right. Nissan replaced
the same hose on my 94 Altima this past summer for the same reasons.

Yep but make sure you use power steering return hose as it needs to be able
to deal with that type of fluid.
