Volvo: 1997 850 T-5

The reservoir on my power steering pump has a leak. I have a new pump
on order from the local NAPA store. BTW, their price was $159. A
replacement pump was priced at $611 when I called a Volvo dealer
yesterday!

I plan to replace the pump myself. Is this a difficult repair? Getting
the pump out doesn't look too bad. I am concerned about the high
pressure line connection. It looks like there is a large (22 mm?) lock
nut on the line that may be difficult to tighten, or it may require a
special tool. Any comments appreciated.
