High pressure line no longer under pressure!

Greetings all,

Well the age thing cropped up again on my '89 200.... the high pressure 
line from the power steering pump to the "bomb" developed a small leak 
sometime over the past week or so and I ordered a new one as well as a pump 
to reservoir hose as that was original as well and had been "sweating" for 
a few months... no leaks though.

Anyway, as luck would have it the damn high pressure line gave out today 
and shot power steering fluid all over the ground... a quick tow home and 
now I have to wait for the parts to arrive.... SO, anything odd I should 
look out for? I've never messed with the hydraulics before however the hose 
swap looks extremely easy and straight forward.  Will that be the case when 
I start removing parts?  Other than bleeding the system with the wheels off 
the ground I can't see any problem(s) that could take place.  Easy job for 
a semi-wannabe backyard mechanic in training to please his wife????

Thanks....
