Hello all! I've been scrubbing these forums heavily for the last couple of months as I just recently picked up a '96 Lexus SC400. Right now I'm trying to replace the P/S high pressure hose however during that I accidentally hit a wire (I think. It may have been like that before?). I looked online for several exploded engine diagrams but couldn't really find anything definitive. Does anyone know what this wire is OR does anybody have any diagrams to help me identify this? I want to try to somehow solder it back together but I'm not really sure where to go from here. I attached some photos showing where this is within the engine bay. Any help would be great, Thanks!!
If you’re looking at the engine bay I’ve got the left banjo off (where the P/S pump is) but that one on the right is stuck! My brother had a million extensions on there but we didn’t get lucky. Later today we’ll be trying again. Gonna try to get a low profile socket and try our luck.
Thanks for the update. I tried hitting it with the same Milwaukee 1/2in impact with a shallow 17mm, but my battery died in that process, so I was unsuccessful. While I charged it I asked my brother, who is a certified mechanic if I should just hit it with an impact and he was like no it will snap the banjo bolt, so I've been delaying it. I'm gonna follow your lead and hit it with the 1/2in impact first, worst case I'll hit it with the 3/8 big boy and get it back on the road.
I wish you luck. My brother did all of that from BELOW not above! The impact didn't damage anything in our experience but be careful!
I was unsuccessful, I did hit it from the side with the impact, but now the head of the bolt looks weaken towards the middle... Is it one of those opposite bolts?
