Power steering nut?

I'm trying to r/r power steering hose on a 95 gmc k1500 (not hydroboost) and I can't seem to find wrenches to fit the hose nuts. 3/4" is too big

5/8" is too small.....starting to sound like Goldilocks. Anyway, what size and type wrench is going to break these things loose without rounding them off. Any other tricks of the trade? Does the pump have to come off or can the hoses be replaced without removing it? Thanks. TomC

well since 5/8 is 10/16 and 3/4 is 12/16 , i would say a 11/16 is in between. or it might be a metric size. try the metric change over chart. old john
