Wow! I am so happy this worked out for me too. The first time I tried it I put the o-ring in the hole and pushed the elbow into it. I wouldn't recommend that method at all, as I cut the o-ring right in half..... Well, my car was out of commission over thanksgiving for a couple days because of dealer parts availability... Got another and put it on the elbow first, works great! I can't believe the dealer quotes $1k for parts and labor to replace a power steering pump for a $1 o-ring...
