1: Snapped a P/S Line, any Advice? 2: Tie rods off to Pull Steering Rack?

1: 1. I really did it now. Removing the steering rack (power steering), the 14mm Power Steering line crimped the hose during removal. Does anyone know where it goes? Can it be easily replaced? Can it be spliced?

2. Do the tie rod ends have to be removed to remove the rack? I can clear the frame with the rack but the left tie rod is not going to clear. Do I bolt back the rack, remove the tie rods and do it again? It seems right, but just checking with you guys.

no you dont need to take of the rod ends to get it out just make sure the drivers side rod end is pushed all the way into the power steering gearbox (wheels turnes all the way to the left) then you can pull it out no problem. as far as the crmped line it will likely need to be replaced.
