A new owner of a an 11 GS. I had it 120 pt inspected at the dealer today and so the dealer wants like 900 to re route a pwr steering hose. they say its rubbing against the crank pulley in front of it. ( they say its 6 hr job) We did not have it done and left.
Is this really a terrible fix??

I think the dealer is trying to hose you, if we may enjoy a pun. I would take it to another mechanic that you trust and see if a tie-wrap might just get the job done. Another option is to simply loosen where the hose connects to the steering rack, twist it and then re-tighten so the hose naturally away from the rotating balancer.

$900 to reroute a hose I would try a reputable repair shop

Im in the wrong line of work. Did the cost include a new hose too or just the labor? Like the first post said, take it to a Corvette shop that you trust and see if this can be done without having to remove\replace all the accessories that the dealer wants to. You can also try to do it yourself, but after going through this when replacing the crank pulley, I would pay someone if it was just to re-route.
