I need to replace my power steering return hose on a 3.6. Anyone ever done this before? Looks a like a real pain. I don't want to remove the old one until I get the replacement. I removed the two bolts and the lower skid plate. Just trying to plan it out.

Thanks!

Just as a follow up in case anyone needs to do this job in the future. Remove the driver side fender liner (I only need to peel it back half way) and remove the sway bar. That gives just enough room to get the return line in. You'll need to start by putting the passenger side of the line in first. Once you get past the frame with the line you can start feeding the driver side up. I had a helper guide the driver side line looking though the driver fender well as I was pushing it up. Not fun, but doable. I took pictures. Make sure you visualize the path of the old line before you take it out. The new line must be in the same place or it won't work. It will make sense once you see it.
