I had some rusty power steering lines on my 05 F150 5.4, and one bergan to leak. So I decided to replace them. I got the lines to and from the cooler, but I can't get to the high pressure line at the power steering pump. It's terrible to get to. Don't want to pull the whole pump, but can't figure out how to get to the line. Thought I could pull the pulley to get at it from the front, but that looks like a job too, especially in the vehicle. I could really use some suggestions.
After some reading I am going to try to remove the pulley first. Would still appreciate any advice.

I replaced mine with the pump off the vehicle. It’s “easier” that way I feel.

I recently replaced power steering pump on my f150, I pulled the pulley.

I also had my fan removed, not a problem with everything out of the way.

Remove pulley. Can also remove your oil filter too, if that's not enough. Though you'll lose a little bit of oil that way
