Hey community. I tried to replace my power steering pump today and the spring shot the pin out of the high pressure hose inlet and I don't know which way it goes back in. I can't find any diagram. It has a filter-looking end and a pin end. I know the spring goes in first but what end of that pin goes in first?

Thanks for any help!

 

I figured this one out. You put the pressure pin in so the pin is coming through the coupling. That was a big mistake. Ugh!

 

anytime you are "lucky" to see a problem like that its nice to grab some pix. anytime I take apart anything I take a dozrn for reference layer. its nice that digital pix are free.

 

So I had this happen to me as I was chaning the hi pressure line and had to remove large coupler that threads into the pump, I think it was like 21 mm as it was stuck to the 15 mm inlet for the hose .
but this pin and spring fell out. Thought i put it back right but no power steering at all when i put it back together. I put the pin in first with the flat head and the little filter end on the bottom then the spring and then the big bolt coupler.
i saw this post bupost a little confused still on the order
Any help is great
