How do you replace the power steering hose on a 83 Jeep CJ7?
While in the vicinity of the steering box, check the mounting plates that hold the steering box to the frame. They are not especially robust, and can rust and break. If you need to replace the mounting plates anyway, it might be practical to take off the steering box and drop it down below the bumper attached to the hoses, where you can get a wrench on the hose fittings.
