Trying to remove Power Streering Bolt

Hello,

I have an Acura TL 2007 Type S. The issue I have is that I am getting the squeaking sound coming from the power steering. I have been trying to remove the bolt the connect the hose to the engine but I have not been able to. Can anyone suggest a tool that can fit in this tight space. Attached is an image of the bolt I speak about.


Thank you,

I believe that's the hose where the o-ring that gives people problems is located. I changed out my o-ring and iirc I used a 10mm closed end wrench to loosen and then my fingers to get it all the way out.

Just a regular 10mm maybe about 4-5" long just to break it loose.

10mm Box-End Wrench. No trouble taking it off.

I will try again. What I found difficult was that fact that the space is very tight to maneuver.
