Is there a trick to removing and reinstalling the octopus hose along the firewall. It runs along the firewall, behind a black electrical box. Which end is pulled out first? Drivers or Passenger side? Likewise which end is threaded behind the electrical box first?

I have the TB removed. All the Norma clips and other clamps are removed and the hose is loose. I am trying to remove the two (2) hoses that run behind a black 4x6" electrical cable box. I have the electrical cable box out of its bracket/holder, but access for the Octopus behind the bracket is still very tight.

Before I start cutting out the old hose and jamming the new one behind this box, I was wondering if I am missing something obvious. Thx. Gordo

 

Never had a reason yet to mess with it but does this help?

 

Thanks Gus. The Octopus was hung up on a zip tie hidden behind the electrical cable bracket. Once I cut that, I could wiggled it out from the Drivers Side.

Lots of wires, cables, hoses and tubes. Octopus is a good name.
