So I bought Four new p/s hoses. One of the hoses connects on top of the p/s ram and for the life of me I can't get a wrench on it due to the angle!!! Keep hitting the unibody 'frame'. I bought a shorty 5/8 open end wrench, but that's not working either. It looks like I may have to drop the ram from the suspension. Trying to avoid that if at all possible. Anyone have any helpful hints???? Much appreciated!

'65 coupe, 289 with Hedman headers - in case

Don't mean to point out the obvious, but something that could be easily overlooked - did you try turning the steering wheel all the way in one direction? This will relocate the ram and you should be abel to get a wrench on the hose with plenty of room. I just replaced all mine recently as well. Make sure you don't get the 2 hoses crossed on the ram. If you do, you will know it about 30 seconds after you start the car and fluid begins to circulate. Good luck.
