I found that the trick is to leave the accumulators loose so you can move them around a bit to get the threads started. Helps a lot to leave the ends must started while getting the other end in!

I spent a while on the TE, but finally got smart and tried installing the lines in different orders, finally found the combination that got them all going. A bit tight down there...

At least you wont' have to do the job again for a while!
