Hose fittings can be relocated to
plugged ports if required. (See
figure 4-9, item 1 and 2.) Torque
hose fittings to 18 ft-lb (24 Nm)
and plugs to 50 in-lb (6 Nm).
You can also install 90° fittings
(Kit # HF6004) for additional hose
routing flexibility.
NOTICE
Due to material variability, fitting
installation torque differs between
the power steering pump and the
steering cylinder. Be sure to use
the correct installation torque to
avoid irreparable damage to the
pump housing or cylinder body
when installing an ORB fitting.
