I'm replacing the power steering gearbox on a 1973 Duster. I'm re-using the pressure hose and noticed that the O-ring that is typically on the end of the power steering gearbox end of the hose is missing. Does anyone happen to know what the size of the O-ring is so I can pickup a replacement O-ring? Also, who tends to carry this particular O-ring in stock?

I was trying to find one locally, if possible. Figured that someone on this forum might likely know what size the O-ring is to keep me from having to remove the hose from the pump. Thanks for the bump.

yes any hardware store or napa will have the correct size o-ring. o-rings are sized by a number. I cant remember offhand what the exact one you need is. I had called steer and gear and they told me exactly what size to get.
I know thats not much help

Thanks for the info. Wish Steer + Gear was open today. Does anyone recall what size O-ring I need?

Is the hose installed? if not take it with you and get the correct one. Or try your local dodge dealer.

Yes, the hose is installed. I was trying to avoid removing it from the pump.

Interesting thought. I've always seen them on the end of the power steering high pressure hoses in the past. When I removed it from the old steering gearbox, I did not see it and assumed that it got lost.

same theory as brake lines. maybe somebody at some point jammed one in there to try and stop a leak but i've never seen one come that way.

I believe I figured out the O-ring size for the high pressure power steering hose end that goes into the steering gear - the steel end of the hose measured out to be 1/4" in diameter. I forgot that I had an O-ring assortment in the garage and when I checked closer, a R-05 O-ring fit it perfectly.
