The search doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

What size is the nut at the gear end of the pressure hose? I can't seem to find the right wrench for it. I've got a leak somewhere and I just wanted to inspect my hoses starting with this one.

Perhaps 18 mm??

IIRC they are both 18mm pressure and return, just be careful not to round it off.

Best to use a flare wrench, not a standard open end wrench as well.

I ended getting it with an 18 mm open end. I didn't have any flare wrenches.

Thanks guys.

A PIA to find too. 18mm must be an odd size.

I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure I have an 18mm flare in the metric set at home.
