YES
use high pressure hose
cut the line and flare the ends alittle
slide the hose over
add 2 heavy duty clamps on each end over the hose
Tighten as much as you can
This should hold you for awhile..

If you mean you want to replace the copper hose with a rubber one no friggin way dude. It's pressurized and will leak like crazy. You need to replace it. Sorry but theres no other way.

Be sure your hose and the clamp is pressure rated. Power steering pump produces somewhere around 1200PSI.

if it is the return hose, it will probably work. If it is the pressure side, I think it would fail again pretty quickly. another option is to remove the hose, clean well and apply JB weld or something similar to seal the leak

No! There is to much pressure in these lines. You need high presure hose with th proper ends crimped on. Dealerships carry these or you can have one made at your local hose shop (cheaper) under HOSE COUPLINGS AND FITTINGS in your yell.pgs

Temporarily. It's under pressure, and the rubber hose won't last long.

The high pressure in that line would blow out a patchjob like that, just when you needed it most. (Read wreck). Very dangerous !!!
