Re: Power steering conversion?
Quote:
The seat that contacts the flair can be affected by dirt, burrs etc. It's best if you remove it clean and inspect your fittings (at the hose and the steering box) look for any damage like small dents in the seat. The seats are replaceable, but I have never done it, and don't think its hard. With it all clean, reassemble and check for leaks. If you have a small amount of seepage and tightening won't stop it. Then loosen it just a bit then try my above method- While putting the final torque on the nut, give the the hose (pipe portion) a little rotation in the same direction as you put the final torque on your fitting. You don't want any amount of leakage as that stuff will end up everywhere! Good luck and let us know how it turns out. s/t
