Power Steering Rack -AN Adapter
hey y'all. I've been having a bitch of a problem with my stainless braided hi pressure PS line.
I've made the line correctly (doesn't leak), and bought what i thought were the right fittings.
My fitting on the Pump (16mm x 1.50) with a copper crush washer seals beautifully.
THE PROBLEM:
I can't get the damn adapter on the rack (14mm x 1.50) to seal for shit. I've tried:
1. Earl's O ring fitting (aluminum)
2. " " With crush washer #1 (wide sucker)
3. " " With crush washer #2 (skinny sucker similar to the one used on pump)
4. " " Russell O ring fitting (steel)(longer tapered section which i thought would press the o ring in to seal)
They all leak! I haven't tried any crush washer with the russell...but i doubt that'll do anything
I've tightened the fuck out of both fittings (all my strength on a box end wrench) and it leaks out from the adapter. any suggestions?
