I think I will remove the entire intake bellows to have more room to work. it would be a major nightmare to replace the entire hard line
The $10 you spend on a pair of Harbor Freight "Tube Bending Pliers" will be worth every penny when you're trying to get things lined up. They allow you to get a solid grip in the tubing while at the same time giving you leverage to move the line you're re-attaching the small amount it might need to avoid cross threading. They also allow you to grasp the tubing in a place close to the master cylinder where it's often difficult to get your hands and fingers in to do the same. They are Harbor freight so you'll have to ignore the fit and the finish but they will help you get that job done easier.
