Can someone please confirm which of the two holes in the top of a Landcruiser power steering box is for the Pressure Line and which is for the Return line?

I think one on left of this photo is the Pressure Line but hoping someone can confirm for me. Thanks,

Been awhile since it was last together and my manual does not mention which is which... :oops:

thats the way a 70 series steering box is plumbed so it should be the same as your 60 series one :mrgreen:

The 60 series and my 70 series had to different sized holes so they could only go one way round.

Hmmm, this box has two holes - both the same size...

Not a great idea having them the same size but ok if you know which is which...

A lot of them have small arrows cast by the ports to show direction of flow but they always have the tank port at the input shaft end as it allows the input seal to only see tank pressure.
