The 2 banjo bolts at the steering rack are M14 threads by 1.5 pitch and is torqued to 22ftlbs. The Banjo at the PS pump is M18 X 1.5 threads and is torqued to 43ftlbs. The only thing I don't have is length of each of these bolts but might have an old one in the garage. Let me know if you need the length measurement and I'll see if I can find one and measure it.
The WSM quotes the values Dwayne mentions for the two banjos on the power steering pump.
However, on my car's 75 bar PS pump the inlet is actually M16 not M18. It has a 24mm hex head on it and I've measured the threads to make sure. I'm guessing the fitting changed in '85 when the 75 bar pump became the standard.
For M16 banjo bolts, the torque spec is 41nm or 30 ftlbs - might save someone suffering the same fate as Lightstriker.
