Are the fj80 power steering hose fittings 16mm and 17mm

17mm flare wrench for the Toyota lines. 16mm for aftermarket (Gates, etc) lines.

Yep, what he said^^ I just replaced my pressure hose last week with a Gates.

Any bugaboos or having the fitting adapter spin in the pump when you changed yours?

Guys I'm sorry I wasn't clear and what I'm looking for the fitting that screws into the power steering gear the threads on the gearbox not the size of the wrench. I'm putting - 6 power steering lines and I need to know the fitting size for the gearbox if I'm not wrong its 16mm and 17 mm just trying to confirm

I'd take it down to a hydraulic shop to have them confirm it. Don't trust the interwebs for that! Why are you going AN-6? They're pretty yes but a competent hydraulic hose specialist can make some outstandingly durable lines that should last into the next ice age in something as relatively low stress as power steering.

Oh yeah, I had a heck of a time getting the fitting lined up just perfectly to get it to screw into the pump. I had to undo the lower bracket (after already reattaching, and get up on a bench over the engine to get the line lined up perfectly to start threading. Then finished it up through the wheel well.

Sorry, can't help with that question...

This is a build using a GM LQ9 so i,m going from GM to Toyota, and using an fitting you can repair on the trail

I'm all for self reliance but I've never had a power steering hose that wasn't ancient and crusty fail catastrophically. There is some comfort in swaged and crimped ends made by a guy who makes a living at it. I can see the repairability aspect of 6AN fittings and bulk hose but there are more nodes of failure.

I checked out the build thread. That's a LOT of work and I find it fascinating. And here I am thinking I was pretty talented for putting a TBI 350 in an XJ many moons ago...

here is the build

Did you ever confirm the fitting sizes?
