Yay no more liquid gold leaking! The old o-ring was flat and hard as a rock. The job was actually quite simple and I was worried for nothing about the banjo bolt on the high pressure line.

that you should just buy a drag link socket. There are several out there:
Snap On: GF22
NAPA (in the US): NB-95 (11/16", 3/8" drive) (www.napaonline.com)
Gray Tools (Canada): 405A (1/2 " drive; T27 (3/8") drive
Sears in US: Don't have the number - ask them (Sears in Canada said, "Huh?")
Proto Tools: 5444 A (1/2" drive) (and maybe 5442 - a little shorter)
I bought the Proto 5444 and had to file the corners of the blade down at 45 degrees at each end. No biggie. Fits fine now. Lent it to Iskolnick.
Make sure that when you get your $6 plug (026 145 541) it has an O-ring on it. This O-ring is the key. Many have tried to just replace the O-ring with any O-ring that appears to fit. WRONGO, me laddies. There is a material incompatibility using a non-OEM O-ring and it soon is eaten by the Pentosin CHF 11S. Result? Fluid all over the place, not just a little weep. The only non-Audi O-ring that works is an equivalent from a Porsche dealer. For $6, its not worth the hassle to avoid the dealer's parts department.
