Coldshot's message above was great! It gave me enough confidence to try this myself. I'm an ok DIY, but hadn't pulled the bumper off a NG900 yet, so this was new for me.
Here's a few more notes in case you're a less-experienced DIY like myself, but still want to tackle.
1) the PS line clamps available on a major supplier aren't the same as those removed from my '97, and require different hardware. The passenger side clamp was held on with a stud coming out of the frame support, and thus couldn't be made longer to accommodate a longer needed screw for the bracket - so I reused the old ones.
2) I found it helpful to move the radiator fan to tighten the connection under the battery. While the old line had a 13mm connection, the new one I purchased has the nut forming over the connection, and thus it's now something like 20mm. I didn't have any wrench that would work besides adjustable crescent, and thus needed lots of clearance. For an 8" wrench, the fan housing had to slide over, but didn't have to be completely removed from the car (which would've required disconnecting more hoses/lines).
