Exclamation Power Steering Pressure Hose

I have a 4.7L 2003 Durango. Recently the high pressure power steering hose has started spraying fluid everywhere. I can't seem to remove the hose where it connects to the pump. I have removed the battery, serpentine belt, and splash guard and am just able to fit a small wrench on the hose but I don't have enough leverage. Any other ideas would be much appreciated.

Put the wrench on the fitting, and use a drift and hammer to break it loose. Once its loose, you can probably just use your fingers.

I have heard that people were able to replace this hose without taking the pump off. Here are some pictures of the fitting.

I had no clue those existed but it looks like it will work perfectly. I'm going to pick up a set tomorrow.
