Help Steering Wheel pump issue

I'm no mechanic by any means but I'm not scared to pull some tools out and get some grease on my hands. With that said it seems my power steering fluid is leaking and it looks like it's from where the hose connects to a "crimped" metal piece. How hard is it to swap out that hose and if needed that crimped piece?
Thanks in advance.

That's the pressure side, easy to do. Hardest part is making sure you get the right hose. If the truck has mismatched replacements you'll have to know what style fitting you have. There was just a thread on this yesterday. If you take the hose off and take it with you to the parts store that will help.

Re: Help Steering Wheel pump issue

Would I need to drain the fluid first?

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
