Default High Pressure Hose Power Steering 2003 dodge grand caravan 3.3L

We replaced our power steering pump, then apparently cross threaded our high pressure hose connection getting it back in the pump. Luckily, I already had the replacement hose. I got the brackets off, then went to disconnect it from rack side, and there is no way to get to it! What exactly do I need to remove? I read somewhere someone said front evac canister or vapor canister. I will be honest, I am a beginner and have learned a lot in this process, but I have no idea where the vapor canister is or what I need to remove it. A picture would greatly help! Thanks in advance.

How did you get it off the first time? Installation is typically the reverse of removal and according to my manual, nothing needed to be removed. TO be clear, are you talking about where the high pressure hose attaches to the back of the pump?

I haven't taken it off, I can't figure out how to access the rack side, pump side was easy, since was never back in the pump after replacement. The connection was ruined. So now I just need the original high pressure hose off the *rack* side.
