Suggestion
I know they are not for a 2002 C4S but I can't think that Porsche would change fittings.

Crowfoot and a couple of wrenches is what I normally use also.
Use correct size or else it will strip the fitting

You do have to use the correct size or else it will strip the fitting.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm in the process of ordering a whole bunch of parts after dropping the engine. During the process, those terrible power steering line fittings rounded out - the ones on the hard line side are the parts that are bad and they're definitely removable/replaceable but I cannot for the life of me find a part number for them. Anyone have any guidance?
Have you thought about used?.....and cannibalize the part for what you need? Any of these help? I know they are not for a 2002 C4S but I can't think that Porsche would change fittings.

the picture you posted looks like the one from an old thread here. I suggest you give Pelican Parts a ring if you can order just the fitting or if it is part of the hose/line. Check out FIG 8 in DIY link below:

Best of luck
Yeah. Watch what you bugger up when DIY...been there done that. Loading/unloading chairs in the back scratched leather console cover (not really bad, just annoying, more like a mark on it) - replacement = $850 = not replaced. Gotta love our cars.
I'm in the process of removing the engine in my '03 Targa and having a devil of a time to loosen these power steering connectors on the right (upper) side of the engine compartment. Are there special tools or a trick in getting these apart. I can't get wrenches on the hex's due to space...trying to use crow's foot wrenches/extensions/ratchets but not having much luck...any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
No special tools... just two wrenches. If you can use flare type wrenches that may help. You may have to remove the A/C compressor. If you can drop the engine down a bit, it will give you more space to work.
Crowfoot and a couple of wrenches is what I normally use also. You do have to use the correct size or else it will strip the fitting. Next time I get in there to drop the motor I'll post the size of required wrenches for both of the fittings.
When I first considered dropping the motor I too nearly stripped mine on one end. Kind of thought it was a tight spot and poor choice of fitting application I also looked at alternatives to ease the task if I ever dropped the motor again. I looked at options like hydraulic quick disconnects that would make the task easier and did not require tools to remove so option was to go with something that I'd seen in the aircraft & aerospace business. There were a couple of random post on the internet were folks had done other type of conversions of the couplings, especially since the price of replacement parts or hose assemblies is steep. I decided to stay OEM because doing such a conversion would require more tools to swedge then crimp the new fittings on the already installed hoses plus the cost and time wasted waiting for delivery of the aircraft grade part.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
