AOS breather line replacement

[dlud]

I have the new hose sitting on my workbench ready to be installed. I took a look at where the hose terminates under the left (drivers' side) manifold and it doesn't look like an easy job. If you pull off the engine cover/firewall from the passenger compartment you can see (barely) the connection at the end of the hose. How to reach that without manifold removal is not real obvious.
I would be interested to hear how others have replaced that hose with or without manifold removal.
