(trying hard to resist being sarcastic toward the new guy with a badly titled thread...)

a new hose will need to be purchased and bolted in. or you can remove the old one, and have it repaired if salvageable. use DEX-III ATF fluid as power steering fluid.

Its all a tight fit getting to the fittings on the rack. You will need the car jacked up to get under it and the driverside tire off to better get to stuff. There is really no step by step deal. Though the first thing to do is to get a cheap battery suction blub similar to a turkey baster only it is nice and skinny to fit in the power steering reservoir and suck out as much fluid as you can. I don't know about others here, but I remove the alternator so I can gain access to the fittings on the power steering pump and so nothing leaks on to the alternator. It always helps to get some things out of the way to accomplish the job at hand.
And if you would like take some pictures and do a how to on it.
