How to change power steering pressure hose on 93 regal (3.8L)?

I see the connections, the one leading to the power steering pump I got lose, but the other end I am having a hard time reaching it. Even if I got it lose, how do I take it out. It looks like the hose runs alone the back bottom of the motor. Do I need to raise the motor or something.How to change power steering pressure hose on 93 regal (3.8L)?
you need to lift the whole car and crawl undeneath to unhook the other end from the rack and pinion........it will require almost contortionist like flexability.......but it can be done without removing the rack!!!How to change power steering pressure hose on 93 regal (3.8L)?
god i hate power steering hoses. sometimes it helps to let the subframe down at the rear to get better access to the rack and pinion.How to change power steering pressure hose on 93 regal (3.8L)?
i did this to a 84 olds 3.4L, 1st. get the car up on jack stands, you will need your floor jack and a piece of wood to support the motor , 2nd. move the floor jack and wood under the oil pan , just a little pressure, 3rd. there or 2 large bolts on either side next to the frame, they open the back of the motor like a clam, take them out. now slowly let the pressure off the jack and the clam will open 2%26quot; to 3%26quot; don't let it go down too far, or you may break steel water lines, now there is more room for you to remove the end on the rack, this is still a tuff job, working the old out and the new in, take your time and use a friend to work the other end, do everything in reverse to install the new line, fill the Reseve, and check again later on and the next day, good luck!
