Ok, so the I have my dead/dying power steering pump off and i'm about to put the new one from Tousley Ford on tomorrow. I have a new fitting from them but i noticed that the old one was unbelievable tight. So much so that i went and checked the new pump to make sure i wasn't trying to unbolt something that was cast into the pump. I understand that the heat and wear of 95,000 miles had a bit to do with the tightness but it got me to thinking: how tight is tight enough for that new fitting. I would prefer not to strew power steering fluid throughout the city of Charlotte.
Does anybody have any torque figures for that fitting?
