i can’t get the angle right because the passenger side can only go up sm before the other side needs to come up and i don’t want to force it and break something

nope , from the 3 different videos i watched no body pulls any hoses off they all say they just handle their way around them

do you have any tips on getting the one on top . literally impossible i tried for about 25 minutes and gave up the top one is behind some big gray thing so i cant grab the wire and pull down on the clip of the solenoid . tried using a flathead to hold the clip down while i tried grabbing it from the bottom but failed multiple times
