    Power steering hose

    Replaced the pump and both lines. Line at the rack is leaking (18 mm) even though I replaced the o-ring/line. Can't really tighten it anymore.


    Any tricks to it or something I am missing?

    Thanks in advance,

    Mike

    Take it apart and make sure when installing it you didnt rip the o-ring.

    +1. The O-ring is the key to the seal on those.

    actually the old one came out (it was on the hose end) and the new one I slipped on, lubed the gasket w/som ps fluid and that was it.

    Ahh crap, just wanted one weekend not spending time under my car

    Thanks for the help,

    Mike

    I feel your pain there. I've spent more time under my turbo cars than behind the wheel of them. If MTV ever pimped my ride it would have computer monitors on the bottom so I could surf this site and work on it at the same time.
