Which way did you go?
Cause I'm in the same boat.
I originally had the SS braided line on the hard pipe on the back of the head (had taken the rubber hose off, basically using the SS braided hose to replace the rubber hose), and somehow half tightened the clamp with all the shit back there so I couldn't take it back off.
2 hours and much of my arms/hands/ribs bruised (from leaning over the fenders and what not) I finally got the clamp loosened up so I could pull the line out again.
Ended up taking the coil pack harness off of the head, taking the A/C hard line that runs across the firewall completely off (have to put this back on for I plan to get my shit recharged). I ended up using a 7mm 1/4" drive socket on a universal joint, a 5" extension, and a ratchet to loosen the clamp.
I do plan on switching it to the rubber hose + barbed fitting method though. Would be much easier to get to it if for whatever reason the turbo has to come off again.
Hate how hard it is to maneuver the lines cause they don't bend for shit.
