Default stainless steel power steering line modification for SC's

Has anybody or does anybody know how to do this?? I just bought the part from driftmotion.com. What do i change, and what do I need to modify on my 93 sc300 to get this thing working. Thanks guys

-Gabe

*****************UPDATE*******************

I bought the part below and got a WTF look from my mechanic any suggestions or a walkthrough on what i need to use the stainless steel power steering hose?

I have searced for hours, and i'm just trying to be able to drive my SC again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you'll need to have new copper gaskets, but im pretty sure they come with the kit. The power assist vacuum lines need to come out (don't do much from what I've heard) and plugged accordingly. Don't ask me how, do a search for my powersteering thread for some pics and info.

I looked around at your posts (which was like billion posts) and I guess i'll wait till the kit comes in. I did notice that this problem is common and I guess it isn't to hard to tackle I appreciate the help StIcK3, I just wanted to see if there was a straight up step by step process but its all good.

Have you taken out your existing hose and found it to be a match to the one pictured on the website?

I looked at the pix of the 1jz/2jz Power Steering Hose on that website and I have no freakin idea where that would hook up. I replaced my high pressure hose after it let go on the steering rack side on a banjo style coupling.

I removed the whole thing and had it repaired at a commercial hydraulic hose shop that carried metric fittings. The replacement hose is rated at 5,000psi and is used on CAT earth moving equipment. More than twice the rating of $65 stainless steel hose and it cost me $38.
