Steering rack

High folks, new Tundra owner and new to the forum. My rack started leaking, so I bought a new one. I put it in, but I can't get the high pressure line to thread in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been working on my own trucks my whole life. This one has me ready to go back to Ford.

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! This sounds like a question for the Ask the Toyota Mechanic thread: https://www.tundras.com/threads/ask-the-toyota-mechanic.2404/

 

Shoulda just take it in for the TSB job. Would've saved you a lot of headaches... Either way, is it the correct rack? Don't want to cross thread those threads, my brother tells me about his tech buddies crossing them threads and the joy of life they cause.

 

Welcome from NY.

Good luck.
