Does anyone know how the pipes terminate at steering rack end (Mine need doing but dont want to undo nuts incase they break) does the pipe have a compression lump in line or does it use an olive or some other type of fixing....
Any knowledge greatfully received

iirc the pipe is a compression fitting onto an adapter which is fitted to rack, hence the extra hex you can counterhold, they are different sizes in and out.
