Problem with power steering rack removal
Right behind the drive shaft where it connects to the steering gear is a bolt. It’s the last thing I need to disconnect to get my power steering rack disconnected from the car so I can rebuild it, but I can’t get a good look at the head. I thought it was a hex head alan wrench (7mm) but that doesn’t seem to fit. 7/32 felt close, but its too small and stripped out when I applied torque. I’ve tried a starbit and that doesn’t feel right either.

The parts catalog calls it a banjo bolt. Its #36 in the diagram; part # 999 134 018 02 (pg 178 &179 for reference).
Has anyone removed a power steering rack from a 944 or 924S recently? Do you remember how you got this little sucker off?
Thanks in advance.
