Hello. I need help trying to replace a leaking power steering hose. Btw, it's a '99 Sonata GLS V6. The pin hole leak apparently is coming from a rubber hose connected to a metal hose on either end. It's located at the bottom, rear of the engine, passenger side, right next to what looks like the alternator. Ok so I've determined which hose needs to be replaced but I can't seem to disconnect it from the metal hose. The fitting/connector doesn't appear to be a bolt on type or something. I've attempted to loosen it simply by holding the connector with my hand and turning it counterclockwise with as much torque as I can, but the rubber hose seems force it to rebound back to it's original position. So how can I disconnect this hose?? Thanks.
