The MFA is a means for attaching the coupling to metal tubing
from the existing power steering assembly . At least 1 inch
of straight (unbent) metal tubing must be available for the
attachment of the MFA . Cutoff (or “C”) dimensions for the PS
couplings are given in Figure 16 .
The correct insertion depth for the PS coupling is 1 .25 ± 0 .030
inches . Be sure to mark this on the hose prior to coupling
application to ensure full insertion depth has been achieved .
Prior to crimping the coupling also ensure that the bottom of
the stem hex is aligned with the top of the die set, as shown
in Figure 17 . When the crimp is complete inspect to the
dimensions shown in Figure 18 .
