I did manage to change the line, without taking the drivers side cat out: what a bear to do: (some pics attached)
-first unclip the hardline out of the plastic clip
-remove the spring clip that holds line on the bracket
-lower the hard line through the bracket so that you can access the flare nut from bellow
-vice grip on metal body of flex line and 10mm flare nut wrench on flare nut
-swap the insulation to new hose
-install new flex line
-put back spring hold down clip, I used a 24" prybar through lower suspension arm and pushed/pried it in that way
