That isn't very practical because there's so many variables, and it's next to impossible to get a camera in those places. Get a copy of the manufacturer's service manual. It will have line drawings showing how to replace the hose. Basically you unscrew the ends of the old hose, then put the new one on the same way. The biggest problems do-it-yourselfers run into are cross-threading the soft metal nuts, and routing the new hose in a different orientation so it rubs on something and wears a hole in it or it transmits normal power steering pump noise into the passenger compartment.
Install any metal fitting at least two or three turns by hand before you use a wrench. If it won't turn easily, wiggle the hose a little, but it's likely the fitting is cross-threaded. Steering gears and hoses will not be covered under warranty if they were cross-threaded.
