Default Replacing Power Steering Pressure Hose

What needs to be done when replacing a Power Steering Pressure Hose?? Is it just take the old one off, and put a new one on, or are there some other steps that i need to know about? Thanks!

just remove and replace.. make sure to place a rag under, some fluid will probably leak out..

you need to bleed the air out of the system when you get done also.

Default bleeding power steering system

With the reservoir full and wheels straight, with engine running, turn from left and right, going almost to the stops. Do this several times, then check the reservoir level and refill if necessary. After a couple of times of doing this, just let the car idle a few minutes with the wheels straight. After checking the level again, you can take it out for a cautious road test. If everything feels and sounds normal and you go home, check the level again.

Ok, i bled the system following what trinket said. Got it to where the level stayed with out goin down. But now when i drive i hear a whine, almost coming from the steering wheel. You barely can hear it from the engine bay, but when you get inside the car, you can't miss it? Did i bleed it wrong? Or is there something that i am missing?????
