Does anyone know the thread size of the high pressure power steering hose fitting on the end that connects to the steering box?
I was replacing my leaking hose last night and it appears that the old hose was cross threaded into the box (the threads on the old hose are messed up). I can get the new hose to start to tighten up and then it breaks loose. I quit trying after a while so that I don't f up the threads on the new hose. The old hose will tighten up but I cut it to get a box end on the other fitting so I can't put it back on and I decided to do this when my wife is out of town so I don't have a vehicle. I am planning on trying to tap the steering box unless someone has a better suggestion.
Thanks
