Have fun! This hose is a biatch. The top side isnt so bad because its right on top of the engine bay. The bottom side is the hard part. Its located on the back side of the engine. I had a lift and air tools, still a PITA. Also make sure to get new copper crush washers.

1. Drain Power Steering Fluid

2. Unbolt top side of the line.

3. Jack up the car and unbolt the bottom side from the power steering pump. (Definately not as easy as it sounds.)

Then just reinstall everything, put in new P/S Fluid and bleed the system by turning the wheels back and forth for a minute or two(with the car on).
