Re: power steering problem

Any parts store should have a stock hose.

Re: power steering problem

it is not a stock pump and it is not in the stock location

the bigger one that goes in the box is an 18 mm i got that from searching
the smaller one is a 5/8 wrench size

Re: power steering problem

Try the yellow pages under "Hydraulics" then to get a custom hose made.

Re: power steering problem

i called all the places in town no one can make a hose with o ring fittings on the ends but i think i may have found the solution

for the box

for the pump because 16 mm and 5/8 are almost the same size

Re: power steering problem

They're called "Saginaw" fittings... Earl's makes adapters to use AN fittings with them.

Re: power steering problem

Russel's and earls both make adapters for that fitting to AN fittings.
then have a regular AN hose made to fit.
This is similar to what you need.

Re: power steering problem

That fitting is an inverted flare. It's a different beast entirely. You need the O ring.
