Default Power steering pulley/res

I got the three bolts off that hold these two units onto the bracket. That bottom one was a PITA, but it's off now. How do I disconnect the two hoses leading to it? I have a really bad PS leak, and from the looks of the hoses, they aren't the problem. The fluid is getting all over my new alternator. I removed the clamp on the far driver's side hose, but the hose doesn't want to come off. Do I disconnect it at the other end? What about the other side where the metal tubing is coming from?

There are two metal tubes that connect into the steering rack, use an open ended wrench to loosen them and it should come right out.

I got the hoses off, they looked alright. I replaced the pump, and the leak is still there. I can't see where it's coming from. Tired of dealing with it, gonna pay someone
