I'm doing a power steering delete and it's gone alright so far until I got to taking the lines off the steering rack. It's a f23a1 automatic lx sedan. The big line I can't get a wrench on from any angle, the smaller one I got a 14mm normal wrench on and nearly stripped it, I can't find 14mm line wrench anywhere. I looked at leaving those lines and I don't know if I can. The rubber hose can come off the big line, but the small one runs to the sensor. What should I do? Maybe I could take the rubber off the big line and use the rubber hose crimped on the sensor to loop around. I hope you all know what I'm saying, it's hard to clarify.
Edit: the rubber hose after the sensor goes to the top of the pump and can't be used unless I cut it the way I see it, I don't want to cut the metal end that goes into the top of the pump off. I would like to keep the whole system intact
