What size is the p/s pressure line nut?

[granatl]

It's time to replace the power steering pressure line going from the pump to the steering box. What size is the nut holding the line onto the steering box? It's just smaller than an 18mm; so is it some goofy size like 25/32" ? Any idea where to find line wrenches in those sizes; I've already tried Lowe's, O'Reilly's, and Sears.

I tracked down a Duralast 18mm flare nut wrench. Even that is a little sloppy and I have my concerns that it's going to slip before the nuts breaks loose. Any tips?

17mm perhaps?

I ended up with a 17mm flare nut crowsfoot from NAPA. Snap-on was on the other side of town & more $$.

I just got so aggrevated that I put vise grips on it and broke it loose that way. This line has never been off, to the best of my knowledge. I don't know why an 18mm is sloppy on it.
