Fortunately my Vanagon does not have rotten bolts/nuts in such extreme condition. I got the power steering pressure hose successfully replaced this morning. I had to cut off the hose to use a socket. It came off without struggling with a socket. Installing the new hose was not completed without some struggle though. Routing of the hose was not straight forward.  A quick test showed no more leak. Job done.


Thanks again for everyone's tips. Sorry to bother everyone with this NVC subject.

Oh my, you should see mine.  The nuts look like tiny Mt. Fujis
instead of hexagons.  No possible way to get any kind of wrench on
them (except the blue one) and really unrecognizable as nuts.  Not to
mention the flanges almost gone from the cast-iron collector
piece.  It will need either brazing up or replacing when the system
next comes apart.  I haven't dared look at the studs -- I don't want
to know.  Yet.


Yours,
David
