So Theres no reason I'll need to remove the breather box again?

I currently have my PCV and intake all taken apart and discovered the oil pan passage is blocked. Can I reinstall the intake and PCV and do the oil pan cleaning on its own without having to take everything apart again?

Had to use a deep socket with an extension to bend the tube into shape because I couldn't fit a tube bender down there

UPDATE: the fitting was m12x1.00 o-ring flare I got my hands on an old chunk of hose from a junkyard and had a hydraulic shop fab it into an adapter which I then attached to the existing hose. See attached photos It ended up working with no leaks and my "completely shot and unserviceable" ...

May give that a try. The problem is I can't accurately take a thread gauge measurement due to the distance and angle. I know the s60 rack uses an m12x1.00 but not sure if its inverted flare or not. google AI says volvo uses inverted flare but I don't fully trust it.

Hello everyone Im looking to find what size and type of fitting I need to reattach a hardline to the power steering rack on my xc70. I believe it may be an m12x1.00 inverted flare but i want to be sure as I only have one shot at this. I have attached photos of what I am talking about.
