    87 Camry sluggish power steering???

    2.0, 4 cyl., belt is fine, hoses look good, plenty of fluid and 100K - could it be I need to flush old fluid? Feels like it has almost no power steering especially at slower apeeds. No belt squeal, all tight. Could it be the rack? Never had a pump go out before, Thanks

    87 camry fuel filter, cant budge it!

    tried the bottom line and cant budge it, kinda a tough spot to get any leverage too, hit it with penetrating oil, will try again tomorrow. Don't want to bend line either. Any hints? bottom is the 14mm/17mm, top is way easier, will do it when bottom is loose. Thanks guys
