unbolt the other end of the line from the rack, then put the line in the vice and use a set of vice grips to remove the hard line from the pressure line, then use the vice grips to install the hard line to the new pressure line, then reinstall into car and bolt back to rack and power steering pump and your good to go

I did the vice grips thing the first attempt I made at trying to remove this nut and stripped the H E double hockey sticks out of it. Live and learn, you're best bet to avoid a lot of problems is to get a 10mm line wrench, spray plenty of PB blaster and let it do it's thing then bust it loose with the line wrench.

Use two pipe wrenches. you just need a longer handle for leverage and a second wrench to rotate in opposite direction to prevent twisting.

Don't worry about the sensor. It doesn't make a cel.
