Again, some advice is needed regarding replacing the flexible oil line from
the engine block to the capillary tube of the oil pressure gauge. Access to
the connection from the braided oil line to the capillary tube is the problem.
The manifolds block access from the top and the degree of difficulty in
reaching with two spanners from under the car is not much better when using
ramps and supports.
Is this usually done from under the car but only using a car lift so you can
stand under the car and reach up, or is it permissible to undo the line
connection at the engine and gently bend the capillary tube upwards to clear
the manifolds and  gain sufficient clearance to get the spanners onto the
connection from above.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Tim Newton
