Default Power Steering line o-ring size

Gotta swap out my power steering pump and I noticed when I took the bad one out that I wrecked the little o-ring that goes on the pressure side line while I was messing with it.

Anyone know the size of that little bugger so I can grab one when I'm getting a new pump/reservoir?

It IS a new hose on there. When I was diagnosing my steering leak, I had to bust the old one off because like everything else on my Jeep, the old one was rusted in.

I probably had my PS pump out and back into the Jeep 4 times trying to figure out stuff and the last time I pulled it out I noticed the split o-ring.

They aren't expensive. Buy a few in each size.

I suppose I could just see if they have a power steering hose in stock and have them size the o-ring from that.

Harbor freight, you can get a whole box for like six bucks.

The smaller O-ring is what I took off of my leaky high-pressure line right next to the top of the power steering reservoir.
I bought the whole box of various O-ring sizes and the size that worked for me was the O-ring with an inner diameter of 8mm, (which you can see next to the original O-ring in this picture).
