e38 power steering high pressure hose replacement

[micro36cjd]

I have a leak in the high pressure hose. Can I replace it myself or are there special tools required. Also it says ATF fluid only. I was told it was dextron III, is that correct? Any good sources for a replacement hose?

Here's a PDF file of BMW recommended fluids for the power steering reservoirs...if you have a standard suspension take note of sections 3 & 5...if you have self leveling rear suspension...take note of section 4:

BMW approved fluids for Power Steering Systems (http://www.bimmerboard.com/members/q/original/BMW%20Pwr%20Steering%20ATF%20Fluid%20Type-List.pdf)

My indy just replaced mine, but at three hours i thought it best to have them do it.
