The high pressure hose I replaced takes a 11/16 flare wrench and it is a royal pain to get to had to pull the shroud off the radiator . The other end I had to remove a small line with a half in wrench and use the 11/16 flare wrench to remove it off the rack. There also was a clamp in the middle to hold it against the engine . I replaced my rack earlier but the o rings inside the compression style fittings degraded and would not allow the fitting on the rack end to seat. I tried all kinds of McGyver style fixes and ended up just replacing the high pressure hose with new o rings pre installed . Cost 38 bucks time priceless. It took 2 hours Jacking up removing the fan shroud and replacing the hose and reinstalling everything .It was worth it though I saved 200 bucks.
