2006 Power Steering Hose Change

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

I noticed that my original 2006 power steering hoses were leaking last winter. They only seemed to leak when it was very cold out. I checked the hoses and they appeared to be leaking a bit where the metal lines met the crimp on the rubber hoses.
SO I figured I'd get the jump on those this year. Lol
Anything specific or special I need to know on changing these out? Any special tools? Tips? Help? Guidance? Lol

Sorry I was out of town last week. PS hoses are a easy repair. Normally the only issues I run into are the fittings rust to the line and wont spin. So I cut them and remove the nut with a socket.

OK. Thank you sir.

Is it safe to just remove the lines? I read that there is pressure that may be in the lines.
Any help on which order to remove and replace?
And do I have to use a VAC tool to pull the air out and bleed the lines from the pump cap?

Bump.
I bought a Mity Vac just in case I need it. It does both vac and pressure.
