gareth001 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Trying to remove the high pressure power steering line from the pump and there's a larger nut that's turning instead of undoing the high pressure line. It's larger than 7/8", as that's the largest wrench I have - any idea what it is, the hose is standard fitment. As this nut is loose, is it a case of just tightening it back up, or is it something that shouldn't come loose and requires a new steering pump? BTW it was leaking from this connection, I didn't pinpoint it until I had taken the power steering box off, as I'm upgrading it. Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 You should be able to tighten it back up with a pair of channel lock pliers then hold it with them to loosen the nut back up. Or maybe a pipe wrench. I'm pretty sure its just an o ring seal on that connection to the pump. Probably have to get it from the bottom. Quote
gareth001 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Posted February 3, 2020 Thanks - got it off and the new hose back on. Final test is when it's all plumbed back up and it doesn't leak... BTW - it's a 1" nut 1 Quote
