Hey guys I need some suggestions..
The first thread on my power steering line, the one that goes from the pump to the steering rack, is messed up (stripped). I can't use a tap&dye set to rethread it because the line flares at the tip, so the tap&dye won't fit around that.
Size is 1.5

Any other suggestions, help asap please.

Thanks,
E

Use a thread file, they usually come with most rethread kits. If you have never seen one it looks like a square rod about 10 inches long and each side on each end has a different thread pitch, 8 total.
