tools for power steering pump replacement

I am going to replace the PS pump on my 93 V6 Camry, 5 spd. I have been told and have read that the worst part of the job is accessing the pressure hose fittings on top of the pump, and that the tool of choice is a crows foot wrench. The SST in the factory manual looks more like a flare nut wrench. Any suggestions as to tools, procedure, (there isn't much step by step in the manual) or pitfalls would be appreciated.

haven't done it yet, so I can't give any procedural tips...

but when it comes to doing things that could require a crow's foot wrench (i.e. fuel filter), it helps to soak all the fittings down with deep penetrating oil for a couple of days before hand- they can then be usually taken off with very little trouble

and if you don't have a crow's foot wrenchs, locking pliers will usually do hte job just as well with no stripping
