Hey guys im new to the forum but i am changing my power steering pump and my old power steering pump has an adapter piece for the pressure line to feed into before it goes into the actual pump, and my new power steering pump doesnt have that adapter, so im trying to figure out where i can either find the adapter or a power steering pump where it comes with the adapter already on. I have attached 2 photos the furst one is my old pump with the adapter part on, and the second is the new power steering pump.

It looks like maybe that adapter can be removed from the old one. Have you checked to see if it can?
I have tried to remove that old one off a couple times, but the adapter/reducer has metal stripes on the hex corners, it it hard to see on that photo, but if you look close you can kinda see them
I will try to get a picture from the side so everyone can see and understand the problem i am having
Those metal strips are preventing me from taking it off because they are on all the corners
I've got to defer to the 4.0 guys, that is a 4.0, right?
You're right that doesn't look like it can be removed.

Could you possibly need another adapter ? Not sure but you may need an adapter between the hose and the PS pump?
Really guessing, im more of a 2.5 guy

i'D go to an auto parts store to check out another pump, the manufacturer might have missed a step.
Yes it is a 4.0 and i do need an adapter thats why im trying to figure out the best way to get the adapter or where to get one
I would hope some of the 4.0 guys might know this off the top of their head, maybe without even having to look at their motor...? :sisi3:btw, do you have access to a Factory Service Manual, if not there is a thread somewhere, you can d/l the entire FSM for your specific year TJ. That may or may not help in this case, just a fyi.
