Explorer power steering high pressure fitting......

leaking like a sieve just cranking the motor. I don't remember what I used but it was a crossover to braided hose. Any recommendations for an off-the-shelf fitting that doesn't leak?

Find one of the Lee Mfg fittings. Unfortunately for you (& everyone else) Tom Lee retired and closed the shop. Others have made similar fittings, but none of them seem to have the same geometry as the Lee part.

Wild horses sells one. I showed the pic to my local hydraulic shop and they had one on hand

I just built this with the factory fitting and a -6 jic fitting. cut the factory fitting off so the tube Is flush with top of nut, then braze them together from the top, so you don't affect the sealing surface of the bottom. Then cut the -6 part off any -6 fitting, and braze it onto t top of the factory nut.

A -6 x 16 x 1.5 lower o ring fitting works. Its the one wildhorses sells. But my local hydraulic place had them in stock. They were a bit cheaper too

Thanks guys. Tried a search but wasn't too much fun on my cellphone. I ordered the fitting from Wildhorses. Will post up what's in there when I get the new one.

Do you have the WH part number. I looked on the WH web site, but could not find the part.

I modified my Aeroquip fitting and it worked like a charm, at the same time I ordered the the Lee one from Todd Z who had them remanufactured..
Here is my thread
cheers and good luck...

Thanks bigj
For future reference, that part shows up when using the search terms: explorer and/or fitting (singular only).
The term "fitting" also brings up most, if not all of the different ones we carry.
