P/S Hose and Brake line overhaul

Okay so I recently passed smog on the mustang so now I can move on to other things. The car was in a front end accident a while back that caused some damage to the brake line and power steering hoses behind the radiator. I purchased the brake lines from ford yesterday so thats taken care of. I've been looking for the correct hoses to buy but got a little mixed up. From what I see there are a total of 5 hoses that connect the power steering together. Some of them are pressure hoses and some are return lines. What I'd like to know is exactly what hoses will I need to overhaul the steering system. Also what steps do I need to take to install these together? FYI, I'm replacing the 2 brake lines from the abs controller to master cylinder, 1 brake line from the abs controller to left front caliper. I know I need to flush and bleed both systems but I don't know where to begin.

The car is a 2000 Mustang GT.



Okay so I made a picture to show the lines. I know 2 pressure lines so far. The lines in question are the ones I need. One comes off the steering rack and stright into the reservoir. The other hits that same hose on a T type fitting into the reservoir. Ford parts dealer says something about gear to cooler and cooler to gear. Didn't see any pictures so I couldn't make it out. So what are these two lines called?

Thanks

the one going from the hydroboost right to the steering rack is the presure line the other line is a return..

the line runing from the pump to the hydroboost is also a presure line. make sure you are clear about the ones you want.

I posted exactly what I was looking for. The 2 lines I'm looking for are the 2 question marks. Was the picture not clear enough?

Thanks for the help.

Yeah I'm definately going to need some help with the bleeding process. Another question for you would be what fluid and how much will I need to do this? I know I need some sort of ATF for the P/S fluid. I'd like to get everything purchased that way I can start whenever I get the chance.

How much will I need to pick up for the install? I hear people try to flush the system first but I don't know if its necessary. If I'm doing the brake lines and p/s hoses at once what should I do first in terms of bleeding?

Damn just looked up those 2 numbers on ford and they aren't cheap. Any ohter places I can pick up these hoses?
