Ok well in case anyone was wondering the valve goes in as follows. 1. The spring goes into the pump. 2. the valve goes in with the needle end facing outboard. 3. if you don't get it in there just right it will prevent your steering pump from working at all as well as if you put it in the with needle end facing inward. 4. Hand tighten the green fitting until it is flush. If it doesn't go flush then the valve is not seated properly so it is best to start over.
