    I just about have everything disconnected and ready to drop the engine except for one thing. It's in front of the engine drivers side more or less.

    What is this hose for? What size wrench is needed? Any special tricks to it?
    I tried to loosen it however I was afraid I was damaging it.


    Picture isn't the best as the camera had a hard time focusing. The screw driver is pointing to it.

    Power steering hose. Every engine I have pulled it is very tight. Need to use a line wrench on both sides.

    Does anyone know the sizes?
    I need to pic up some wrenches and would prefer the correct ones.

    From memory, 17 & 19, but the first time I pulled my engine I gave up and undid the banjo union on the pump instead. Much easier to undo, but you need to feed the hose carefully while lifting the body off.

    Empty the reservoir with a hand pump (or turkey baster) and remove and you've got reasonable access to the unions on the PAS pump.

    That's the way I ended up doing it.

    Ditto here. Those two were a pig the first time I pulled the engine. Easier now they've been undone once.
