Hi Guys I replaced my steering box about a year ago with a Borgenson Saginaw style. Have had trouble getting the pressure line fitting to seal. Has leaked a little since day one. Had new hoses installed with new ferrule. Wondering if anyone has had this issue before and might have a suggestion on how to seal it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Leo
I have to respond with the fluorescent dye / blacklight check. Those connections should be inverted flare no? Get a GOOD crowfoot flare nut socket and tighten it GOOD! ws
Are those stainless pipes? If they are, pull them apart and clean them (surgically clean) with some brake cleaner, and wipe a FILM of anaerobic sealant ON THE FLARE seats and re-install/tighten. I am talking like apply with a pencil point! ws
Bill Ended up pulling the hose off. Threads looked a little iffy. Happened to have a new one for a big block El Camino at the shop. Worked perfect. No leak. Little shorter so I don't have the big loop in the hose like I used to . Thanks for the help. P.S did you the crowfoot.
Thanks for the help. P.S did you the crowfoot. Im confused... was that supposed to be "did use the crowfoot"? Ive had a set for years. I use them on brake stuff and fuel pump/line connections. 3/8" drive set from snap on. Best 5.00 at a garage sale I ever spent! BTW, that was on a rack with 3/8 through 7/8 in 6 point! Glad its all dry! ws
