My return line to cooler had rusted through and was leaking. I got the replacement part at the zone for 15 bucks and picked up an 18 mm line wrench. Removed the sway bar to get better access to steering gear. Very tight clearances and this line was in the upper right port of the gear. Had to modify the line wrench by cutting in half to make it stubby. After several blasts of penetration oil and cranking on it, it broke free. Reinstall was fairly easy but had a hard time getting the new fitting started. Refilled and bled the system and all is well. Just wanted to out this out due to very low info online regarding this repair. 18mm flare end wrench, stubby, or a crows foot would work.
