The hex nut going on the rack is seized with the line so it won't turn. Many people advise to cut the line close to the hex nut and use a socket to take it out. Problem is, there is so little space, I have no tool that could fit in there to cut the line (Dremel, cut off toll etc.). As anyone been able to cut the line to fit a socket? If so what would work? Thanks in advance. John

Sheer it off with a chisel? I would not cut it with a blade metal filings will go into the rack.

I used my air hammer chisel with a long 7" shaft and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the hint! Now the last challenge, how to remove the highest hose bracket. There just seem to be no room for anything to reach there, crowfoot, whatever, I can't get nothing in there.
