Default LT1: What size wrench do I need for the inlet and outlet hoses on steering rack?

I can't find the darn wrench in my tool box I tried Google and the 2000+ page manual I have in my possession for my car and cannot find it. I could only find the torque tightening specs but nothing regarding wrench size needed to remove the outlet/inlet hoses on the steering rack. Thanks

For anyone wondering now, the outlet and inlet hose uses an 18mm wrench. I could not find a single wrench at Harbor Freight tools so I just went to my local hardware store and picked one up for 2.99.


Note: It's an 18mm wrench on both. Do not even try an SAE sized one, you'll **** up the nut/head.

Otherwise known as an 11/16.

BTW, manuals don't give wrench sizes.
