The outer edge of the o ring is what gets sliced so when i take the line out I have an outer ring and an inner ring from where it is sliced.

jettadan1 :

is it the right size? there are thinner and thicker orings?

jettadan1 :

its what came with the pump which is what i originally was replacing, so i bought a new line and it also came with the same size o rings

I have seen them split over time also . it may not split or slice when you put it in.

jettadan1 :

you can follow up with me after accept if needed.

Customer :

ok thank you for your help i will give a try

jettadan1 :

on the heat shield If not, the only way will be to disconnect the rack and pinion from the steering column, making sure that the steering is in lock position to avoid damage to the clock spring.
Remove the steering gear mounting bolts.
Disconnect the tie rod end and rotate the rack and pinion at 90-degree front to make the treads visible.
