Power Steering Line Rounded Off

[variablevalve]

Hey all,

I have a leaking Power Steering Line (Pressure). I saw this post and tried to remove my lines with a 17mm crows foot and some extensions but ended up rounding off the connector. I tried grabbing it with some vise-grips but that only made it worse.

At this point I'm stumped. Given the limited access I can't seem to get any other tools in there. Anyone have any tips or ideas?

At the pump side is your line vacuum fed or electric?

If it's vacuum I have a buddy with an extra line. You could cut yours off and buy his. They aren't cheap lines but he'd hook you up.
It's the pressure line he has not th return line.

Take the pressure line off the power steering pump and remove the whole steering rack. I know it is a lot of work but its much easier to work on that line on a bench with some room
