I changed power steering pump but when I tried it the bottom steel line was leaking. I changed O ring but it still leaks.Did I miss something? Please tell me every thing that goes on that fitting. Thanks.

this may be your problem........
Do not remove the fitting on the pump that the high pressure hose screws into. The fitting may come loose unless it is backed up using another wrench. If the fitting does come loose, it must be retightened before continuing. (57 - 67 Nm, 40 - 50 lb.ft.). If this fitting comes out of the pump body, the internal spring and valve parts will fall out of the pump and they cannot be reinstalled properly. If this occurs the pump needs to be replaced with a new pump.
pressure line must be tightened to 23 ft lbs.
