Turbo oil supply line question

[jabstick420]

Going to change out the turbo supply that runs from the oil filter housing.

Can't figure out how to access the bracket that holds the line behind the block.

My coupe barely has any space between the valve cover and the firewall.

Any tips?

I use a 1/4 drive ratchet and 13mm socket. Only the right side bolt needs to come out, the other just loosened. I have used a gear wrench, but that is not as easy as the socket.

Those are a snug fit. Even in Mutt where I've tried to make everything accessible it's a "try everything" kind of a deal. I'll wager Rollguy has the best plan for the Mercedes chassis - on an S-10 swap I may have some hints!

These are the bolts that hold the engine hoist bracket

Correct?

The one with two eyelets?
