The high pressure hose: not too long, maybe an hour or less. Unscrew it from the pump, and then you'll need to get a long wrench extension and a crows foot. Then find the other end of the hose and unscrew it with your crows foot. Then install the new hose with the same tools.
Rubber hose: a few minutes. Loosen the clamp on both ends of the hose, take it out, put the new hose on and tighten the clamps up.
The metal return line that goes under your car: a couple hours. You'll have to loosen the clamp on the rubber hose, then unscrew the metal line(it's next to the high pressure hose). You're also gonna use the crows foot for the metal line. And if it's too warped and ground up(like mine) you will have to cut the metal line next to where you unscrew it and try to get a socket on it.
Good luck!

You may want to check this with your dealer, but not too recently the cav and sunfire had a recall on the power steering. Something about a bad gear and power failure when making left hand turns. They would either replace the faulty gear or the whole rack and pinion assembly. Either way have it checked out. A steering problem is not a nice problem. It may cause accidents or death.

Common problem, easy solution, three possibilities only. Either, the power steering fluid is low or one of the belts at the engine need to be replaced or the power steering pump is worn and needs to be replaced. Check to see how much fluid is in the power steering pump, if full then replace every belt on the engine, if the sound goes away then you are done, if not replace the power steering pump.
