im replacing a rack and pinion on a 97 accord 4 cyl auto. are there any tricks to getting the pressure line and return lines off or even accessable. any tricks would help

 

Hope this isn't too late to help;
BE SURE TO CENTER AND LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL.
Air bag reel under the steering wheel can be damaged
there is a cover plate over the line fittings, use line wrenches.
With the steering wheel locked/centered, take careful measurements from the center of the ball joint studs to a fixed place on the rear subframe; also count the tie rod end threads.
