Default help with c6 Power steering pressure hose

Hi to all, I am new to this forum and recently purchased an 05 c6. I got it for a great price and has a few upgrades that save me money and time since they are already there. Anyway, I was curious if anyone has had to replace the power steering pressure hose on any c6 yet? that was one issue the car has. I cant even see the hose/ leak. I was hoping someone may be able to walk me thru the steps they took to get to it and replace it. I def see the alt has to come out. Thanks

TAKE PICTURES FIRST. the hoses should be an assembly including the cooler. the lines at the rack are different sizes. just pay attention to the routing.

I received a recall notice for my 06. The hose on your car is about 18". The replacement hose is about 36". The routing is far more complex on the replacement.

I installed a Turn1 pump and Aeroquip Teflon, steel braided line because I did not like the complexity of the replacement hoe.

The pressure side does not go through the cooler, the return side does.

yes i believe it is the pressure line. It appears to be under the alternator. Do any of you guys know if there is a micro fiche that shows how to get to it? and thank you for the info so far.
