Pressure Hose Wrench?

Hey
I need to replace my pressure hose on my power steering.
I've got a 1992 F150 with a 4.9
Is this some kind of special wrench?
Thanks

i break the hose, it is usually rusted anyway, and use a 6 point socket to remove old fitting.

It looks sort of like a box end wrench with a slot for the line. Its called a line wrench.

Yep, the line wrench is the best choice if it's intact, positive contact on 5 out of 6 points on the line nut.

But quicklook2 is right, when I have had to do them I just bend the hard line back and forth until it breaks and use a 6 point socket and ratchet on it, that is the best way to make sure it doesn't strip.
