How in the wide world of sports do you get the rear soft lines disconnected from the main hard lines?!?!?
Can't figure out how to get any leverage up in there... |

It's a cinch.
I agree, cut the hose off as close to the metal as possible Fit 11mm tubing wrench to the hard line fitting above in such a way that it leans on something solid nearby. Use a block of wood or whatever you can to keep the wrench from turning and twisting the solid tubing. Attach deep 17mm socket to 12" or longer 3/8" extension and turn the hose fitting off. The extension moves your hands below the confined area. Before reassembly be sure the 11mm nut spins freely on the tube. Assemble thusly: 11mm holding fitting above, rotate hanging hose through chassis bracket onto fitting by hand. When the hose tightens onto the fitting it can be fully tightened by merely positioning the 11mm and 17mm wrenches in a V and squeezing toward each other firmly. Attached thumbnail(s)
