p/n 4482998, saabsite.com or a local dealer will have the hose.
I replaced mine with a piece of generic power steering line sold by the foot at an Autozone, bought three feet (around $2/foot) and cut down to fit. The Saab hose is pre-formed, so if you do not use the stock part you have to cut the replacement a few inches longer to allow it to bend without kinking. It took me a few minutes of trial and error to get the correct length. Using the Saab part would save some time and trouble.
To get to the end at the rack, the main relay box has to be moved out of the way. (held by one plastic 10-mm nut, and then it slides up on plastic clips). Same as to get access to the clutch cable end at the firewall.
I took out the battery to get a plastic container under the reservoir to catch the fluid that drained out when the old hose was disconnected, and to see what I was doing, but that is just because I like to have room to work.
The reservoir is held by a semi-circular clamp and one 10-mm bolt, you have to take it off to get the end of the hose on properly because it is under the reservoir and so close to the other return line.
The plastic barb at the reservoir is a little thicker than the one at the rack, so it takes a few minutes to get that end on with the help of a little soap.
