Default Power steering sensor, please help!!

Hello guys, so I was replacing my power steering pump today for the first time ever and ran into an issue, Could someone please tell me how to remove the banjo fitting (I think that's how it's called)/sensor from the old pump and attaching it to the new one. I tried looking on how to do it, but couldn't find anything. I am following the diy for the Lexus LS and it doesn't seem to have that sensor.

You have to pt a wrench on the sensor with the wires and remove it. Once you remove it you will be able to get that piece off.....

I realize that much, but it is not coming off. Do you know the exact size of the wrench I should use? I tried using a big open end socket I found at the garage but it fits a bit loose
