I have a leak in the metal tube that goes from the power steering reservoir to the actual power steering ram. The line appears to have rubbed against the alternator for 40+ years and worn through. I am looking for a picture or good parts diagram that shows how the tube fastens to the reservoir.
I will have to remove the alternator to get access. Hoping for an idea before I dig into attempted repair. I have the operator's manual and a shop manual. Neither provides a good view of the reservoir.
A few years ago I was able to patch the primary metal tube for the main hydraulic pump with a couple compression fittings and hose. A local hydraulic shop made those up for me. Hoping I can do a similar fix. Or, if the fitting can be removed from the reservoir replace the entire "hose/tube".
Thanks for any info.
