My dad wrecked my car into one of those green steel mesh boxes with a water main valve inside ON MY BIRTHDAY. Damaged the front end which I fixed, and I guess the left wheel hit the curb hard enough break the power steering rack. It is not leaking but while driving the car veers left and right uncontrollably even with steering input. Inner and outer tie rods are fine. The rack itself is toast.

So I spent 2 days taking it out. Now the rebuilt one is in but now I cannot access the bolts for the 2 feed and return lines to tighten them. My hands are cramped and my arm up to my biceps are covered in grease. I've tried Crows foot, stubbys, gear wrenches, top bottom, side. The lines cannot be reached without tearing into the intake manifold. Anyone with experience can give me some pointers to getting these lines tightened? They are finger tightened about 2 or 3 threads in. I've cleaned the threads beforehand.
Thanks

 

How did you loosen the lines?
