Powre steering hose removal
The pressure hose on my p/s is leaking. I have attempted to remove the hose using line wrenches. My issue is that I cannot get the wrench onto the fitting because the fittings for it and the return hose are right next to one another. Cant get at it with vise grips nor do I want to use them. Any suggestions what to use/do so I can untighten either fitting? (Sorry for the typo on the title of the thread)

If the hose is no good and leaking - cut the tubing off right at the fitting with a hacksaw blade or reciprocating saw - and use a box end wrench or socket. You could even cut it with large wire nippers. It is just a nut without the tube coming out.
