Power steering fluid burst out

Power steering fluid burst out
Onmy 99 Accord LX Coupe MT,a pressure line had rusted through at the very bottom section on the curve(onbend that can be seen on driver side by the rack if you'reunder the car) . There was paint bubbled 3/4 of an inch wide all around the line at that spot.Good thing it happened when I was backing into the garage, it started after I started to back up, you could tell by the trail of fluid. The ps system was nearly empty in seconds and started making whirring noises until I quickly shut it off. Has anyone ever replaced a pressure line like that, is it difficult, it looked awfuly cramped down by the rack? Mechanic said he hasn't seen that happen to a car of that age, but this isn't a Honda mechanic. You guys think any autoshop can handle this job, no need for dealer? I took the ps belt off so not to damage the pump during short trips to mechanic.

RE: Power steering fluid burst out
The shop is going to use brake cleaner to clean under the car where power steering fluid is present. Isn't brake cleaner bad for anything rubber and they might over spray on all kinds of rubbery parts under there?
