Replacing Power Steering Hoses DIY?

I used this http://www.billswebspace.com/MiniR53PSPFanDuctDIY.htm when I rebuit my power steering pump but it shows you how to get to the lines underneath. FYI I installed worm clamps on my hoses near the reservoir and that solved my leaking problem.

If your trying to replace both lines from the reservoir then its pretty easy. Just release the 10mm nut on the carrier for the reservoir. Use a 22m socket or ratching wrench for the like going to the rack and just cut out the lower band for the other line at the pump. Then pull both lines up thru the engine bay still on the reservoir. Install your new lines onto the reservoir on your bench. Then reinstall. I still think you will have to lift the vehicle partially though as the lower clamp on the pump is hard to get to.
