Not tough.

But...it's messy unless you eject the old fluid first, and working space
may be tight. You also need to make 100% certain that you do not introduce
any dirt or sand into the new hose or its connections.

You may need to remove some surrounding components and/or the front bumper
to make access easier (not familiar with Accord on this).

Oh, and never use anything but genuine Honda PS fluid. This is gospel.
