Can't Get Oil Lines Out!!!

[Maddog]

I have been trying to replace the oil lines on my 1982 240D that go from the oil filter to the oil cooler. I have them unbolted and loose but I can't figure out how the hell you get them out of the car. it seems like the impossible task. I think I could do it if I dropped the A/C compressor but thats a huge pain. Is there something I am missing here? Thanks for any help!
