Default power steering hoses

I recently replaced the suction hose from the reservoir to
the pump, in the process the smaller hose that is also
connected to the reservoir developed a leak, the hose is so
dry that it would crack when I would push it over the ******
connector. I have ordered the hose which includes the
cooler. It connects to the ****** end with a plain end. The
other end utilizes a push on quick connect type fitting that
utilizes O rings for the seal. I cannot find any post or
online posting that indicates the type or size of tool
needed to remove this quick connect fitting. I have read
that it is a fuel line connection tool, but I have found no
verification of this. Does anyone know what that tool size
is or if it is specific to jaguar. Any help in this matter
would be greatly appreciated.

Go to Autozone or any auto parts store and pick up a set of the Fuel Line Disconnect tools for about $10.00 which has various sizes and you can find the one that works.Here is a link to a set at Sears;

This is how I did my repair! You do not need the cooler tube just buy the hose and some 3/8" to 5/8" breeze clamps.
