Default Power steering ?

I have a Question I have a 69 Camaro and the high pressure hose keeps leaking fluid. So I bought a new hi press hose and a new return hose. Do I need a special tool to do this? I cant seem to get a wrench in to loosen the hose by the steering box I think thats what its called I'm new at this and would really appreciate any help.

I'm pretty sure you dont need a special tool to take a hose off...Can you tell what kind of fitting it has on there? A wrench should be able to take most fittings off on older power steering lines. I wish I could help more but my 68' is manual steering[:@]

You can get what's called a crow-foot wrench to work. It's an open end wrench that goes on to a ratchet extension.
