Power Steering Banjo Bolt

[APhelps]

Was attempting to take off my power steering pump and managed to sorta start stripping the head off the bolt. (UGH) I think I've got the correct Toyota one on order but I'd rather not wait for the bolt if I dont have to. Anyone know the actual size (thread length and pitch) of this bolt. The head is a 17mm so I know that.

Use a torch and flare end wrench.

Well I did manage to sorta break the bolt loose but the head started stripping so I decided to re-tighten the bolt. Unfortunately it appears a few leaks started to appear from the hoses. Perhaps I managed to really bend the hoses at that point and develop small leaks in them. I figure at this point I'd just drop the pump and hoses and replace both. My 3rd gen has 215k on it so I'd bet that has partially something to do with it. It has lived a really good life so far though (its only been in So Cal).

I ordered a new bolt but I was wondering if anyone knew the size. I guess I can just continue driving with the leaks until the Toyota bolt shows up though.
