Sometimes I use a 3/8 drive crows foot to get in to tight spots.
Good Luck

im right woth you there.. but unfortunately i still couldnt get in there.

 

At the point you are at I would have taken a large hammer and,
well you get the idea.
I don't know what to tell you.
This is some to think about.
You have all the right parts, you just need the old parts gone.
You could take a tubing cutter and cut the lines out and then you could get to
them with a socket.
Last resort.
Or the take it to the shop, labor for the pressure line is about 1.1 hrs return line is 1.0 hrs
and supply hose is 1.0 hrs.
So it looks like even the pro's have to do some real work.
And everything is right there, I would not have thought labor would have been that high.
Again Good Luck !

i broke down and had JCRover do it for me.... and i dont feel so bad.

they took off the radiator housing, compressor and belt to get at it. i dont think i would have been so adventurous.

 

The best thing it is done.
It sure beats the big hammer adjustment.[sm=headbang.gif]

 

It's a tough one to get to. i replaced all of my PS, Oil line, and transmission line hoses awhile back. I had to cross the proverbial point of no return and clip the hose on two of them and put a socket wrench (and breaker bar) to get a couple of them started.
