How to remove the power steering hose from a 1999 oldsmobile intrigue. Have the crow foot already just can't get it to the correct angle. Seems stuck! Only having trouble with the bottom part of the hose. Took the top part off already!

I'm assuming you took off the connector at the pump and are trying to loosen the one at the rack. If this is the case, then try using an extension/universal joint to get access. This will also allow you to change angles for more leverage. (You can also spray the connector with WD-40)

It's also best accessed from below, try a line wrench, also called a flare nut wrench.
