08 Sonata 4cyl GLS Power Steering Pressure Hose
I'm looking for some advice/instruction on changing the pressure hose for the vehicle referenced in the thread title.
Based on what I can see in the engine compartment, the replacement looks pretty straight forward. The nut at the top of pump and the one connected to the rack, with a plug in the middle. In theory, I should just be able to loosen the two and remove the hose and put the new one in place.
Is there anything that I'm missing other than needing to have fluid on hand to fill what's lost from the hose?
What should I expect in terms of difficulty?
This will be my first time doing anything this technical. Any help is appreciated.

I haven't done this myself, but in general: 1) Keep the area VERY clean. Debris in the hydraulic fluid will definitely cause problems. 2) Somehow (and I don't know how) you're going to have to bleed any air you will have introduced during the swap-out, out of the system. If you don't, you will get a lousy response (and dangerous!) from your steering system.
