I have to replace both front metal pipes due to rust from the flexible to the abs pump. I think I can obtain the replacement but has anybody replaced theres ? Access to the pump from the top or underside ? do you need a ramp ?

Thank for any help

I did mine, on the 3200, but joined them at the bulkhead. Are you making them or buying replacements?

Either made them before. I will see if easier to buy but that's a good suggestion to join. I wanted to know how easy access is before I start striping engine covers.
Thanks

If it's similar to mine, then they run under protective covers/heat shields. Access from below. The originals will be plastic coated steel, so difficult to flare Insitu. Buy decent split ring spanners as access at the abs pump is tight.

Thanks I know where to start now. I do not have a ramp. Pipes have now rusted through under the arch where it goes through the inner wheel arch. I have split ring spanner too.
