I am trying to remove the upper of the 2 AC lines from my 2016 Macan S to install a new one. I am stuck at both ends. The lower end of the line looks like you need to remove the engine and pull the left turbo to get the single bolt out and the top end uses this weird junction and I can't see how to remove the line from it. Any ideas?

Aren't those the "standard" external grip fittings, released by fully and properly discharging the system pressure, then forcing in a correctly sized thin wall cylinder tool, to permit tugging out the hard line fitting?

I bought those tools but ended up not needing to pull these. I used the complete hose assembly from my wrecked donor car in one piece. I had to pull the AC compressor to get access to the lower bolts though.
