Pressure hose at box removal?

[Dan R]

What is the best way to remove the pressure hose from the pump as it enters the steering box? Looks like very little room there up against the frame.
Will loosening the steering box bolts on the frame allow me to get at the fitting?

Thanks,

special crow's foot wrench, that fits on a 3/8" extension and ratchet.

Are you keeping the hose or replacing it? When my pressure line blew, I had a really tough time getting anything in there (I don't have a crowsfoot wrench either mind you) but what I did was just cut through the hose right above the fitting cause it was wrecked anyway, and then I could slip a socket or box end wrench onto it.

Thanks guys.
