Default Power Steer Pump Question..

I was just wondering if anyone knew of the size of the nut that goes from the top of the pump to the rack?

Mine is losing fluid like crazy and I just got someone to turn the wheel in the car while I was watching and that's my weak spot..

I'm away from home and trying to save money on buying tools for now because I'm a broke college kid so if anyone could get back to me then it'd be greatly appreciated so I can go buy the right size or a set with the right size and get things buttoned up..

One more question, is there an O-ring there that I may need to replace? I got a diagram of a power steering pump however I'm not too sure because it doesn't show this part..

Thanks in advance.
Addison

Yea I tried to at an autozone near me and the guy said that he didnt have the size that I asked for and then said that he couldn't lend out tools because people were stealing them...

He also seemed like a fucktard but who knows... I bought an adjustable wrench, just can't get it where I need it... I'm taking the belt and pulley off today I guess and if worse comes to worse I'll just unbolt the pump and have it all in my lab to work with..
