power steering hose(d)

i posted this in the wrong forum originally so i'll repeat it here. one of my power steering hoses sprung a leak. As you are looking down on the engine, it's the one that rises farthest up with the curve. what is the best way to change it? i looked at it and i can't see a good way to get to the bottom fitting to loosen it. it looks like it would just unbolt on either end.

I just pulled mine from my parts car. I used an open-end wrench , it moves a 1/4 inch at a time. The engine was out so it was not too bad. With the motor in I think pulling the bolts that hold the rack on, then dropping it down might make it easier.
