There's a bolt on either side of the link. You have to access the bottom of the fuseblock to get to it.

How do I get to the underside of the fuseblock? I was able to open the side where the fusible link is, but can't figure out how to get to the underneath part. took a couple pics. The 120A one is the white one.

Ok I just got it done tonight. For anyone else wondering you just have to undo the nut on the upper left up the fusebox (when looking under the hood) then pull up on the section with the fusible link, it didn't seem to want to come off but you have to pull pretty hard, then if you look on the sides of the block you pulled off there are tabs to open a "door" on each side, and thats there the bolts are, undo them, and then use pliers to pull the fusible link.

I blew out my 120A fusible link in my 93 LS, I searched through other posts but couldn't figure out how to get the fusible link out, I know there is something to unbolt but I can't see anything to undo.

I just noticed my steering rack boot is ripped on the drivers side on my 93 LS, is there a two piece made? If not is there a DIY for replacing it?

I noticed a pin-hole in one of my steering boots on my '91 once. The pin-hole was on the bottom side, allowing a small amount of PS fluid to drip out, which is why I noticed it. Realizing it would require a split boot (if they exist), I decided to just rotate the boot so the pinhole was on top. I had to loosen the clamps to do this. I cleaned the boot and put some tape on there, but am not counting on it to hold. This stopped the leak, and I don't think it's worth replacing the boot on my car. May be the same for you, depending on how bad the rip is.

I don't know too much about steering systems, but basically its ripped in such a way that its no longer stretched correct across the rack.

Also wondering if a mod can change the title of the thread to something more relevant now that I've cleaned the screen? Maybe something like power steering issues, no leaks?

I'd like to add to this topic. My 92 LS400's power steering is leaking, too. I had my pump replaced a little while ago (less than 1 year), but there are still leaks coming from the rack and the high pressure lines - just not from the pump. My solenoid has never been cleaned (that I know of). I'd like to hear what you guys come up with. I don't have the money to replace my rack and lines! Think cleaning would help fix my problem?

You can try, I've read that the clogged screen increases the pressure causing leaks, but I'd just fix the leaks if you can, NAPA has a PS high pressure line for cheaper than the dealer I'm sure. My problem is that my power steering pump IS NOT leaking, yet I still have intermittent power steering.

Give some detail as to what's happening when it stops working, for how long and then when it starts to work again. A little background may help diagnose your issue.

You did use ATF instead of PS fluid, correct?

Yes I used ATF, as far exactly whats happening, its difficult to explain so bear with me. If you turn the wheel it will turn part way easily, and then you'll hit a "hard" spot where it becomes difficult to turn, and then the power steering will kick in making it easier, but this jerks the car around a bit, of course the goal being to make the turn smoothly without the intermittent on and off of the steering.

Okay so I cleaned the screen and put it back and my PS is still intermittent, I really don't know where to go from here, any help would be greatly appreciated

Ok thanks for the quick reply, I didn't think I'd have any luck, the dealership knew what I was talking about right away but was pretty sure sure they couldn't get one they just weren't 100%

My 93 LS PS has been acting up, I rebuilt the PS Pump, and replaced the valve, and bled it all but still had problems of the PS coming and going intermittently, so today I took a look at the 2nd screen in PS solenoid, and it is torn a little bit, I was wondering there was anyway to buy another w/o having to buy a whole other solenoid or rack, or possible to repair the screen?
