GSL-SE oil line replacement

Hi, recently purchased new oil lines from Racing Beat to replace the leaking original lines. removed the underside pan to access lines from bottom
and it seems impossible to get to the connection at front of engine.

anyone have tips or tricks to remove and install new lines?

thanks

It takes a really skinny wrench. I've had to grind one down. You'll only get a small amount of movement before having to turn the wrench over. Remove the line and not the front cover connector first.

If your lines are toast, you can also cut them. It won't help the limited space, but then you can remove the front cover connector and not have to worry about twisting the line.

Did you also get the four -10AN connectors that allow the hoses to be converted from 16/18mm to -10AN? They are sold separately.
