[6pack] Oil Pressure Line Replacement - Access?

[Foster, Stan (HP IT)]

Bruce, Bob Danielson has some nice pictures of this procedure and I bet he
will provide a link when he next checks in but basically you go in through the
ash tray and remove the oil pressure gauge clamp nuts and then pull the gauge
forward for easy access to the oil line. The original plastic line has a
leather seal at the gauge end that you may need to replace and the TSI SS
replacement uses a different fitting that I recall just uses some Teflon
tape.

Is there an easier way to remove the oil line from the oil pressure guage?
The manual has you  removing the speedo and tach to lower the dashboard to
the
service position.

It looks like you could remove the ashtray and get a bit of
access, although I'm not sure you have enough room to actually get anything
done. If someone's done this, maybe they could explain.

While my oil pressure
line hasn't failed, I'm hearing more about this happening.

Thank you,

Bruce
