Hi Guys,
i'm hoping for a little advice about the best way of removing the high and low pressure power steering hoses, where they enter the steering rack.
there is a bolt between the two hoses, which needs removing in order to pop the hoses out the rack and replace them with new ones, but i can not see it directly.
my question is....what size and shape is that bolt head??, i dont seem to be able to get any of my allen keys in it and i was wondering if it might be a TORX head instead? Its a little Bu**er to get to also so if anyone has any tips or hints i would really apreciate knowing them? (i.e is it best ot do it on a ramp, or use a jack and remove the driver side wheel for better access)
thanks all!!

the best way to take it off is to take the power steering pump out,and this way you will have easy access to what you need.
