Bobcat T320 Hydraulic Tube Removal For Lift Cylinder.. Please Help!! Hi all, I have a 2008 Bobcat T320. Recently, I replaced the exhaust manifold due to a crack. I removed the exhaust, airbox, tubro and everything else to successfully complete the repair. Most of the work was done from the back of the machine reaching over the motor. Unfortunately, after running the machine for a couple days I noticed a Hydraulic leak. After tracking the leak, it was coming from a Hydraulic tube line that supplies fluid to the rear lift arm cylinders. The line goes from one side of the machine, up over the motor down and connects on to a hard line that goes into the lift cylinder. The ruptured line piggybacks with an identical hydraulic hardline. I have attached the diagram; the ruptured line is #21. I am seeking out for a beneficial removal procedure for this specific tube line so it can be removed without pulling my hair out. #21 tube line looks like it’s going to be a task. I assume all work will have to take place from the back of the machine. Correct me if I am wrong, but looks like I will need to remove exhaust, air box components to turbo and remove line over top of turbo. Any input or advice or input to make my life a little easier is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advice.

The attachment didn't come through.
If it's hose to the lift arm ram, i didn't think you'd have to dismantle so much to gain access, generally you can reach it from the back, yet not a fun job.
Hopefully someone that knows better can give more advise.
