Power steering pump swap-out, '97?

OK, just ordered a new pump-mine's whining annoyingly, I figure it's time for a change. (No, the fluid's not low.)

No problem on dismounting the pump itself from underneath, just two bolts, but how about the hoses? Anyone know the sizes at the rack and pinion, and will I need crows-foot wrenches, or what?

Thanks.

I remove the lines at the back of the pump, not down on the rack.

Thanks. Will an open-end wrench do that, or do I need crow's foot ones?
