Any tips for removing the line at the pump end? What needs to be removed to get to it?

it will probably be pretty tough with the intake & ac compressor in place. the idea is to pull the tube out of this hole while pressing the red thing back into the reservoir:




the tube looks like this:






under the car, it's just a fitting that unscrews. when you put the new one in, insulate it & bend it up so it doesn't touch the header:

Appreciate the images. I have intake loose and can move AC pump if need be? So I press the red part in whilst pulling hide straight out? It have some sort of press lock fitting?

as you pull on the tube, the red piece will try to come with it. press it back into the reservoir & keep pulling.

Gotcha, will do. Thank goodness it's not a threaded fitting in there, would be hard to get a spanner in there!

The other end, do I fit a wrench on both sides of the join or do i use vise grips on the join and a wrench on one side?

use two wrenches. there's a plastic cover under the car just in front of the left rear wheel. remove the cover to expose the fittings. prepare to catch a little pentosin when you break the line.
