This is a straight forward job where only basic tools are required. Oil would be spilled as the hose is removed so care should be taken to contain the spillage.

At the end where the loop is located it is held by a nut with a spring washer. When installing the two O-rings, ensure they are not pinched which would result in leakage if improperly installed.

At other end, of pressure hose, a flare wrench would be useful for loosening and tightening.

Of course you would need to remove components that are blocking access to removal/installation of the hose.

After installation, top up the fluid and start engine briefly. As the fluid goes down, air would be pushed out and with it power steering fluid at the reservoir neck. Wait for bubbles to disappear before topping up again and start engine again. Repeat process until fluid in reservoir is bubble free. Turn steering from end to end to bleed the system and if air bubbles are present, repeat above process.
