Ok, so changing your power steering pressure hose wasn't as easy as I thought.
For future reference...you'll need a 24mm socket wrench for the TOP
and a 25mm WRENCH for the bottom.
AutoZone gave me the SE model instead of the GXE model. If anyone is going to attempt this, and needs help - contact me.

Well, you of course need ramps. Basically....it's just like a light bulb except your space is SO LIMITED underneath. A regular rachet wrench will be to bulky to fit. So you'll need a 24mm wrench to get that one down there. MAKE SURE THEY ARE VERY tight before you start driving again. Remember - it's a pressure hose. Any ?s just post up.

Curious - mine on the 89 Max started leaking, so I need to change it out.
Another question - where did you get your hose? The local dealers want $210 for the hose - a little pricey, but I've read not to use cheap aftermarket. I can mail order a hose that claims to be true Nissan for 85.... what to do?
nah - I got mine at AutoZone for $36.

Yeah, 24mm socket, rachet, and 24mm wrench. AND Ramps - always helpful

Okay, $45 later (not counting a 24mm wrench and socket, I have a new high pressure power steering hose. The socket was useless on my 89 Maxima - no space. The real difficulty is the tight space and playing the wrench game. Other than that, this swap is no big deal.
oh, tighten the bottom connection first.
trust me
