92 SL1 Power Steering Pump

Hi all..

Has anyone tried replacing the power steering pump on the 92 Saturn?
Chilton and Haynes both say to remove the high pressure hose from the
rack and pinion first. Well, I've tried it and had a helluva time with
it.
I was working from the top, and to gain access to it I had to remove a
hose that was sitting above it - that wasn't much of a problem. But
then I didn't have enough movement on the wrench to remove the proper
hose.
I'm wondering if anyone tried removing the hose at the pump end (after
unbolting the pump of course), or is the hose really that short to
make it impossible?

thanks
Alex
