I believe it's just a 17mm or 19mm wrench... I had to switch my whole steering rack out a few months ago... and now I need to finally put the lines back in... it's a peice of cake...

EDIT: it's just a tight area to work in...

Did you have to remove the lower rad hose to tighten the pressure hose at the pump?

I might have b\c I think I might have swapped out rads while I was doing it... either way it's simple to take out the rad... one bolt for each hose and then two bolts for the whole rad... it's pretty easy... and actually I'll be installing my powersteering hose here soon when it warms up here in KC...

Yeah, I was trying to avoid draining the coolant. Now I'm trying to loosen the clamp that holds the pressure hose down before it goes under near the oil pan. Looks like 8mm. It holds two hoses from moving around.

finally done was just the return, that alone was a pain to slide new hose onto the piping carefully not to break the metal piping, how far after the little bulge on the piping is neccasary for the clamp to be by the way? mine slid a half an inch after the bulge should be fine started and no leaks
