My high pressure power steering hose needs replacement and I can't seem to figure out how to get at the 24mm banjo bolt for the bottom. Underneath the exhaust blocks me, and neither fenderwell gives me any clearance for a breaker bar...let alone access to the nut....is this one that requires something like a crows foot?

any suggestions much appreciated.

yea something like that but be sure it will be short enough to clear the flex pipe, I think harbor fright has some that are just the swivel part that. you might be able to use a wrench on it also while using a bigger wrench for leverage..... yay for you tube I don't have to try and explain how to do it if you didn't know...... if you have a 12 point box end you should be able to get it into a position to be able to do it

What about removing this because I have been turning with a 24 and I'm not getting anywhere how am I supposed to pull this thing off of this bracket is it our pen or something that's keeping it in place because I took out my power steering pump but it still attached to the banjo bolt I can't get off

Two Wrench Leverage Trick. Using 2 wrenches to increase leverage on a tight nut or bolt. - YouTube
Dude I have always used this trick for so many things even alternate double wrench tricks even wrapping something to a wrench like a oil filter gets the job done. So much leverage and torque helps save the headaches from coming. I have showed friends that never knew some auto mechanic tricks and you see a light go off in their expressions! Great post

I used a combo wrench it works with tight space but you have to really pull hard to loose it
