2002 7.3L Power Steering Line Threatening My Hunting Trip!!

Can anyone please tell me the easiest way and estimated time on changing the power steering line that goes from the reservoir to the hydroboost, it is leaking at the reservoir not the hydroboost, the line appears to be bad. It does not appear to be too bad of a job, remove air intake, intercooler pipe, battery and tray?? I am suppose to be leaving with 3 other guys on a hunting trip 5am Sunday morning and we are taking my truck and camper... any help would be appreciated. I am hoping it is easier than I think and I am just freaking out! :dunno:

Heck don't remove anything. I did it with everything on there. AND a coolant filter. My hard line was rubbing the intercooler tube so I took the whole thing out and just use a PS return line from O'Reillys. All rubber so it flexes good and won't rub stuff. Works good for me.

What is a PS return line, is that a direct bolt on on both ends or do they have to make the line? How do you do it with everything on, is the line assessable from underneath? I have changed a couple lines before, but not on a powerstroke. Thanks for the info!
