Hello again, Mazda n00b here.
I'm trying to replace my drive belts, the AC/PS and the WP/Alternator ones. While trying to loosen the power steering pump, there were three hoses that obstructed my ability to use a wrench to loosen the nuts. Two of those hoses are for power steering (fluid), I believe, since they connect to the power steering pump itself and one connects to the power steering fluid reservoir. What I don't know is:
1) What is the third hose, above the first two?
2) How do I remove it?
I've attached pictures below. I apologize if these questions have been asked and answered somewhere else before, so if there are any links to show what do to, I would be much obliged.
