Have a question for those who may have dis-assembled the PS lines on the rack side in the Boxster.

See attached pic. One of my options is to have someone TIG weld the fitting on the High pressure side line on the rack side. Can do the same on the Low pressure side if I want. (Interesting info is that the metal tube on high pressure side is steel and the LP side is AL).

Question: Other than the O-ring on the fitting that goes into the rack (that can be seen in the pic), is there another O-ring inside the assembly that allows the metal tube to swivel in the fitting? If there is, the heat from the welding may destroy that o-ring. I would then have to go another route and avoid welding. Also need to think of the heat will destroy the one-way valve on the HP side fitting...

Need to know if there is an o-ring inside the fittings at the place marked by arrows. Appreciate if anyone knows...
