I used a 6" crescent (adjustable) wrench on the tube nuts for the power steering lines, but it was difficult. Shorty open ends work a lot better.
I also used the rack replacement to replace the tie rod ends....sure, go ahead and count the turns but be prepared (read have it done) to have a front end alignment done after the rack replacement.
Get the tie rod ends that are completely cast metal (I got TRW from TrakAuto before they went under...now AutoZone) and buy them from a lifetime guarantee supplier. If you ever have to have them replaced during an alignment (which is where they sting you if you don't watch out) get the old ones back and return them for refund.
