I have a follow-up question, and that is how much debris can be allowed into the ATF before damage is done to the power steering unit? It’s not the gears that I’m using a tap on, it would be on one of the holes (who’s holes are clogged with aluminum) that feeds ATF to the Rack and pinion.

Yeah Q-tips is a great idea I’m almost tempted to spray a little upholstery glue on it to make it tacky. As of right now the rack and pinion is in the car but if I can get the section disconnected, it’s definitely going into a vice before I use a tap on it

I like what you had to say, and the situation that I’m in Is that the original fitting and hole was steel and when replaced the broken tubing I didn’t pay attention to the replacement fitting being made out of aluminum. so I over tighten it and it stripped out the threads of the fitting And left...

Thank you so much for your response you’ve given me a lot too consider before I go any further.

I was thinking the same thing while reading tools4me response. Unfortunately the threads That I’m trying to remove or aluminum and they are in a steel hole.

I’m going to be chasing some threads on my rack and pinion system, and I want to know if the Metal that I’m cleaning out of the threads will travel inwards Away from me, or will they travel Outwards towards me? Thanks
