What are the 2 quick connect hoses from the AOS lead to?

Brian, do you know which way to disconnect the end that goes to the front? I can't fit my hand through from behind the seat, and the air filter housing blocks the other direction. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

see if you can get to it from under the car. I recall being able to reach it from below.

Also helps if you have a friend who can push/pull on the hose while you pinch the fitting.

Thanks, I was wondering if that was the best way, or removing the fender liner.

I did mine while the engine was sitting on a pallet. I would suspect that undoing the motormount and lowering the engine might give you enough access. If you're replacing the hose & you can get a flat screwdriver under the retainer, you can break it to get the hose loose.

I've lost count of how many times I've lowered the engine in the past 3 months. Can do it in my sleep. Helps to drain and disconnect coolant hoses from the front of the engine. You can get to the motormount bolts with a 15mm deep wall, and extension and a ratchet. And if you decide that while you're in there to replace the motormount itself, you can get the back half off the engine with 15mm box end ratcheting wrench

That corner of the engine is a b-itch tho.
