The snap on socket seal/washer tool got have one! Fomoco approved! Great tip!

Thanks, good tip! I was tired of seeing my line leaking on my serpentine belt.

Kenny thank you so much for posting this video it help a lot

You can the same thing with a sharpy cap, difference is a sharp cap will slip over the threads nice and easy and the seal slides right on!

Great tip!. I just made the mistake of putting a Cardone pump on a 09 focus which lasted all of two weeks.Was second guessing if I installed the washer wrong.Second time around will be a proper pump and this trick.Thanks!

Thanks Kenny Great info

Great problem solving idea. I would have tried soaking the teflon washer in warm water about the same temperate as a hot cup of coffee. Making it more pliable.

I was thinking the same thing. Of course, I would have probably got mad and put some rubber washer in there. That way I can spray steering fluid all over my driveway and tick off the wife. :)

Bravo old mate that was a trick werth learning Fantastic great job 💯👍

@@WrenchingWithKenny truly was my pleasure I have an FG Falcon have not had one but the man before changed the power steering high pressure line. But now that the car is mine the power steering pump is making a crappy noise I like put oil behind it it's quiet four little time and also when I took the cap off it made a little pop sound but with pressure in the oil tank I'm going to leave the top off and turn the steering wheel left and right a few dozen times hopefully get the air out of the system and then I'm going to figure out how to take some pressure off the belt. Maybe too tight live and learn I guess. Cheers mate will keep watching

It's doubtful that the belt "being too tight" is the problem. I suggest a powersteering flush. It may solve the issue for you 🔧

Good tip. I wonder if a heat gun might allow it to expand a little to allow installation.

@@WrenchingWithKenny. Hi from across the pond and my Transit nut onto the power stearing pump. This nut also has a seal on the internal diameter , so there is potential for 2 leeks to occur. Yes you’ve guessed….I have both !!

I watched ford Tech Makuloco channel and all he did was stretch it with his fingers and installed one thread at a time until it seated at the bottom. Also Rich Pin Channel used the cover on a sharpie to install the seal.

we put in water and put in microwave then stretch it be hand works great

I use a “lady finger”.. or tapered alignment bar. It works well as well.

Good idea !! Ill try that next time

I went to Ace Hardware and got a 11mm viton o-ring. The nylon seal from Autozone broke.

Why can’t I find this Teflon seal o ring for a 2012 Ford Taurus. I can’t find it anywhere

Do you know where I can get these

Can you use brings better

Could you heat it up..heat gun...boiling water ..??

I would think hot water would help. Ive never actually tried it that way

The size of the seal?

I don't know but I believe Ford only used 2 sizes. They are both in a kit available at the parts store. Usually, it's a "HELP" pack. I hope that helps. Keep wrenching 🔧

Fords, no wonder the company is going tits up. Smart arse dady boys get to design big boy stuff
