Power Steering Hose Replacement
Im getting ready to replace my pressure and return lines and was curious if there was any tricks that anyone has tried to make it easier or is it just kind of a pain? Also besides my hoses leaking fluid is there anywhere else that could be dropping fluid. Seals in the rack??

stay on the task at hand fastblack...... when disconnecting the pressure hose from the rack, i stuck my wrench in there at an angle and did small turns (barely nothing) for amount 5mins...... it was exciting.. its not hard, just a crammed area....

RE: Power Steering Hose Replacement
I used a crows foot, a 4in extention, and a socket wrench to get the pressure hose off the rack...
Once I loosened it with the wrench, I finished it up by hand with just the crows foot and the extention.......
Very tight quarters under there....
