High Pressure Power Steering Hose

[Kneale Brownson]

Someone posted a couple years ago about starting the banjo bolt back into
the rack by wrapping a string around the threads near the inner washer in a
manner so that when you pull on the string, it turns the bolt righty-tighty
back into the rack.  Then all you need is to get the bolt into place, put a
little pressure on the head and pull the string.

Wouldn't the A6 version use O-rings like the V8 and '91 200s?
