It does seem simple in terms of connectors and pipes but to get it to work might be different.

I can help with the specifications though.

Chapter 32-350 in the FSM (available for "legal" free at www.startekinfo.com)

Min SLS pump pressure at idle (800-1000 rpm) = 130 bar

Max pressure for relief vale = 185 bar

Just a "tad" bit more than the steering pump!

Chapter 32-501 has more information concerning the operation of the SLS system - probably worth a read.
