It's a low pressure return line so perhaps you could cut it close to the rack and then flare and patch up with some flex hose and clamps on re-install?
Have you damaged the low pressure line or just can't get the sucker to budge?
...what can I say, it's an LX... you're dating a supermodel.

Low pressure hard line NLA on eBay.
Rock Auto carries this p/n, but they are out of stock, as is all the local parts stores. I am getting pretty close to cutting this, but would like to be able to get a replacement. You can get both lines on eBay for $122:

The 03+ line won't fit in terms of length... its supposed to make a loop through an oil cooler first. I bought the Sunsong 1998-2002 version and it fits very nicely as a replacement... just installed it a few days ago. Steering feels new after an alignment... I was way out of spec.
Rock Auto (I ordered both hoses)Where did you order the Sunsong?

Yeah, sux it's been a pita, I know you did your homework to avoid it coming out like this....
but at least nobody will park their jeep on your 100!
Tech:
Another option would be to hit up a place like 'Applied' and see if they can source a mating fitting and make up a new close-enough but top quality hose/line for you? You could take a rack in for them to match?
When did you order? They are out of stock now. Not sure how long for them to replenish...

I was able to wedge a ball joint separator in there to pop the TRE from the knuckle.Do you recall what style puller you used on the TREs? That dust shield is so close, can't get in between dust shield and knuckle...
I didn't sep the TRE, rather I just unthreaded the TRE's from the rack and left the TRE's on the knuckles.
Update, I found the aftermarket hose from Sunsong on e-Bay, PN 3402991. It came yesterday and I put in this morning, pic of the new hose below. It seems to be of good workmanship and had all the right bends in all the right places and fit with no problems. Best of all, it cost me 35 bucks...hopefully it lasts a good long time. Here's a pic of it as received.

Looks like 20mm and 1" to get TREs off if they are stubborn?
