Don’t bother with the AC stuff. It’s easier and cheaper to go to the hydraulic hose shop. I see so many Hose-man shops as I drive up the 5. You only need 1’ of hose each. It shouldn’t cost much. The hydraulic lines and crimps are so much more robust than the AC or Cohline line it’s stupid not to go there.
I only did it with my AC stuff because I had a lot of #12 barrier hose leftover from my AC build projects.

Roger that. Lots of space with a 616... I may not even need to raise the engine.

Good luck!!!

Exactly my thought. Turning the nuts at the housing shouldn't be much trouble.
As soon as my thin wrenches arrive, I'll attempt to remove the entire apparatus intact.
