Question Question about removal of power steering hose high pressure side on 2003 model

Hi,
I am trying to replace power steering hose (HIGH PRESSURE SIDE )in my 2003 dodge grand caravan sport 3.3L. It seems I am unable to find way to access and disconnect hose on the steering gear end.
Anyone’s suggestion how to get to it is greatly appreciated? Do I need special key?
Thank you

FWIW, for 3d gen. models the service manual specifies using an 18 mm flare-nut crowfoot adapter.

I remove the vapor canister and the mounting bracket and then you can get to it with an 18mm wrench.

Make sure there is a new o-ring on each end of the new hose. Dont get burned.
