Power steering nut?

I usually use a flare nut crows foot with appropriate extension and a wobble adaptor. Pump does -not- have to be removed.

I was going to say why didn't he try Metric. The truck is not old enough to be using Standard. Oh sure some Standard and Metric sizes are pretty close and maybe gotten away with other things using standard tools, but if you try Standard and nothing fits, wouldn't you think, "ummm, maybe it's Metric?" 3/4" is 19mm, so a bit smaller is 18mm which is is pretty common size on Power steering hoses on Gear Boxes and Racks.

Would you believe that my metric wrench set goes from 17mm to 19mm. I was thinking that it might be an 18mm. Guess I was looking for a little confirmation before starting my tool quest. Thanks.

P.S. There's not alot of room to swing a wrench. Another poster suggested a crows foot. FYI.

WOW, No 18. Some sets do lame things like that. I can understand not having a 20MM or possibly 16MM, but no 18mm? I use Crows feet all the time for Gear Boxes. Usually a pretty long Extension a 18MM crows foot and a Ratchet and you can get the lines off the Box. But it doesn't work for everything, and may not work on the Pump. I may use a 18 MM Crows foot, and a long and short wrench to get the lines all off. All depends on the job at hand.
