Power steering hose cost(!)

[Mark Reis <reis@ccnet.com>]

Just off the phone with my mechanic.  What I thought was a valve cover
gasket leak turns out to be my power steering hose coming apart.  The
price quoted was $185 for the hose and 3 hrs. (@ $70) labor.  

One: what kind of hose is $185?  and Two: can it really be that difficult
to get to?  

Oh yeah, it's a '92 100cs, 2.8v6.  Thanks, folks.
