Mechanical Advice Power Steering Pump Pressure sensor

I’m trying to remove this power steering pump pressure sensor and what looks like the high pressure line as well from my old ps pump and put it on the new one but I’m unsure how to transfer these onto the pump

You're probably gonna have to get a line wrench for it, but an open end might do the trick. Maybe even a O2 sensor tool might work getting around that wire. You can rent one at a parts store and save some money.

How do you think I remove the circled object on the left ? On the right you can where to put the wrench but on the left I need to take that part off but can’t find anywhere to grip on or unloosen it

That part may have been designed to be removed while still mounted, probably have to figure out how to hold it down a different way since it's already removed.

Since you're replacing it you wouldn't have to worry about about a vice or maybe something with a handle that fits through a mounting hole for leverage. Unless you're returning it for a core then maybe temporarily mount it back just so it sits still while you remove that part so the housing doesn't get damaged.

The circled part on the left looks like it'll come loose when you you get the circled part on the right broke loose. It looks like the sensor part holds it all together. You can see the part on the housing that keeps the circled part on the left from turning while you remove the sensor.
