Default 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??

rack , pump or lines could be leaking.. clean it down and look for the leak so you replace the right part

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....
