High pressure connection on power steering

[Gardner Yeaw]

I took off all the stuff around the steering column and the fitting
was right there. I could never have reached it through the battery
box because it is just even with the floor and there would be no way
to swing a wrench. Who ever tightened it up was on a power trip. It
took every trick in the book and a trip to Sears for a longer 1 inch
open end wrench to break it loose. Even then I had to use a pry bar
against the wrench while pulling with all my might.

It's off now and I will be going to the hose maker in the morning to
get a new one made up.

I got the new pulley on the new pump, then took the new pulley
off the new pump so I could get the bolts out to mount the bracket.
Then I put the new pulley back on. As I always say, plan ahead. Now
if I could just stop saying it and do it!
