my power steering cooler line is leaking and my plan so far is to bypass it and go with a standard line. I am having trouble getting to the back of the pump to remove the current line. so far i have removed the airbox and the ac compressor to get to it, but now I am stuck. I'm not sure how to go further with the huge bracket in the way that held the compressor. I've searched the forum and google as well and can't find anything that helps me get further. Is there an easier way than removing everything to get to it? I'm only doing it this way because I don't have any other ideas and have huge hands that can't snake around tight spaces. Any help would be greatly appreciated in either personal advice or links to something I was unable to find

 

you can unbolt that bracket off the block and pull the pump assembly forward, im not sure if that will help much getting at the lines. i do that all the time when doing intakes. ive done a few pumps on these trucks and dont ever remember having to move anything to get to the lines, i think i got at them from underneath, of course its 10 times easier when its on a lift
