I have an '88 2.6 Trooper. Does anybody have any idea how tight I should tighten the bolt on my power steering pump for the pressure hose. It is the bolt that the hose fits over and there are two copper washers. I can't find any torque specifications for it.
thanks.

I don't have a spec for you, but it doesn't have to be crazy tight. The copper washers are whats seals it. The washers are a one time use deal, technicially they should be replaced after each tightening.
