Power steering line help

[Hidjet]

Hey all. Im looking for a little help. I'm replacing my steering rack and lines. I can not get the banjo bolt to come out of the pump for the line. The whole banjo joint with sensor are spinning as a whole.
I also dont have a new crush washer to put in place if I can get the old lines off. Is any parts store crush washer going to be acceptable?
I appreciate any helpful tips or suggestions. Thanks

You will have to lock the union line fitting with sensor down with a wrench somehow or vise grips, the crush washer(s) are joined together with a little strap if I recall correctly(I could be mixing it up with a 2nd gen Taco) and appeared to be SS, (EDIT: I was wrong they are copper crush washers #90430-16242,. For the 5vz-Fe) and must be fused to the banjo bolt and fitting, you just need to break that bond. You could probably get away with thin 0.5mm SS, copper or aluminum crush washers but I would either reuse the old ones or buy new OEM, they are very thin crush washers. Not related but It's usually the rack fittings that are a bugger, and if you have new lines and even better a new rack I cut them at the fitting and use a socket to break them free if reusing the rack.

This happened to my corolla and after the installation, I found a leak at the joint to P/S pump body. I had to install the O-ring inside the joint to get it right.

Thanks guys.
Yeah I was able to break it free once I realized there was the nut on top of the union. Not great access in there tho, that's for sure.
I called around some parts stores but no one could cross reference the Toyota part. So that led me to go to the dealer for part #44327-26020. It is basically a pair of copper crush washers with a bit of copper tying the two together to make a U shape.
New lines, a Toyota reman rack and outer tie rods are all in and buttoned up. Just need to bleed the system and go for a quick drive before scheduling an alignment.
