I have a 2009 Camry doing the same repair. I'm having a hard time installing the opposite end which attaches to the steering rack n pinion. The space is very limited to turn a wrench on the nut. What tool did you use to install yours?
I used a combination of “line” wrenches and regular open-end wrenches to do that job. It is difficult to get in there, and you might have to raise the engine slightly with a 2nd jack and a piece of wood.
Watch my video from the 2:50 mark, it shows you what type/size wrench (17mm line wrench from Harbor Freight) as well as how to get to the fitting. You go around behind the steering rack for better access.
Remember to go at it from the front bumper side of the steering rack. The way I filmed the video is how you should see the whole process from your perspective.
@@ijfim I had to remove the new part completely and compare it again with the old part for the second time. I then realize the new part had more threads on the two screw-in nuts (steering rack side). So essentially it was fully installed, when I thought I had more turns to go: I was using brute force to get them in😅. Anyhow I reinstalled and filled it up and went for a 30 min drive. Everything is a ok with no leaks. Thanks again for your help
Was looking for this for my highlander same year and engine. Thanks. I wasn't sure which hose was leaking so I brought both while it was empty. I was going to just fill it with trans fluid since do you recommend just getting pw fluid?

Yes, get Toyota compatible power steering fluid.
Very good job.
Thx!
