Power steering

[cigar-]

Last item to get done before I hopefully fire up my 71 C10 this weekend.

I bought a new high pressure hose from the pump to the steering box. I also bought a new low pressure tube. When I installed both and tightened up the nuts, both tubes are loose and turn. It's as if they aren't seating inside of the fittings.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? I tightened them up as far as I could without breaking them off inside of the steering housing.

Should there be another fitting or an o-ring to take up the slack? Tomorrow I'm going to look at the flared ends of the new and compare to the old. Who knows....maybe the new ones need a different flared end.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
