Ok the pressured power steering hose has an eylit kind of part that attatches to the pump by a union bolt I think they call it. THe bolt attatches to the pump. I think I had forgotten to put a washer on the opposite side of bolt so I tried to loosen the bolt but when I did the part that the bolt attatches to broke free. It looks like a wrench can fit on the part that its attatched to. How do I break the bolt and the other part free so I can tighten them both one at a time.

Hi stealthman1965,

You need to slot a wrench onto the pressure port union, ( lower hex joint ) to prevent the hose from twisting and loosen the pressure hose banjo bolt. Due to tight space, it is not going to be easy.
