Can anyone tell me how to replace the power steering hose on my Kioti ck-20, I have a bad hose on my 2005 ck-20, I have the new hose , my problem is no way to get a 3/4" wrench in place to loosen the nut, the nuts are recessed in the fire wall & there seem to be no way to get a wrench in place.

You could buy a hose wrench designed for that application. Or if the bad part is accessible you could cut the old and new hoses in the same place and connect the new to the stub with an inside sleeve and two quality clamps on both sides. ....

I second BigRol. Look for a flarenut crowfoot ( much smaller required clearance which should cost you less than $10). The other thing is to close your eyes when setting the wrench and imagine what you are trying to do as you do it rather than actually watch it.( after first having looked to see what you want to accomplish) This seems counter-intuitive, but we are actually set up to do this as our sense of touch is generally far more accurate than our visual coordination. -This trick also works for a lot more things than simple mechanics.
The only thing I would add is if you have had to remove screws from the plastic covers to get at the steering try to replace them with real automotive steel ones. I've had several Kioti Phillips screws strip on me with minimal pressure, so they certainly aren't the grade 8 steel they are coloured to look like. ( I would say they are closer to grade 2 as I have never had the same problems with other fasteners, even grade 5 ) - A few cents can save you a great deal of headaches later.
