Well, I need to swap the power steering hardlines A.K.A. high pressure line, and cooling line, from my DOHC 91 hatch to my DOHC 92 coupe. Im at a snag... I've undone every bolt except for one. It's the one sandwiched between the crossmember/engine mount and strut tower, It seems virtually impossible to get out... Any tips or am I screwed? :confused:
I'd like to get them out without having to pull my engine, or dropping my crossmember...

Nice way to get your thread closed man. Be patient. *a
I removed mine over 2 years ago + it was off a HICAS model but there is no need to pull the engine or drop the crossmember. Id be of more help with a picture but this should be simple so make sure you're not overlooking something.

What an asshole. Come on here demanding help when you could just lean over and see the M8 bolt in the bracket. Only takes three seconds with a ratchet wrench to remove too.

if you cant get a wrench to it, could a zip cut it, to get it off?

Wow, sorry didn't know I was being a ass Im just hella stressed out about this because I need to fix It fast, I have 2 days to get my car registered. Sorry guys won't happen again.
Anyways, heres my problem... I couldn't get a picture of It In the engine bay but this Is the bracket Im having problems with, Its just such a tight space to work In when Its In there. Any special tools or anything that would help me get this off? I've tried a 10mm open-ended wrench but I can't seem to get It.
Thanks

go to sears and get yourself a ratchet combination wrench.
I've pulled over 40 p/s lines and that tool alone is the greatest investment, its allowed me to pull off lines within 20 minutes instead of 45mins.
By the way its a 10mm
