Door air line - how to remove ?
Maybe you could warm the plastic airline to make it easier to remove, it is on a metal nipple I presume?
I replaced the air line that goes from the hatch lock to the CLP/SSM, I had to remove the yellow hose from two plastic nipples and I just cut the airline lengthwise and it came off. I replaced the airline as they are prone to break at the hinging flex point. If you have sufficient length you could do the same. If it is like my connectors it is a simple barbed connector.
Over time the hinge point of these door airlines will fail as well, I replaced mine with 3mm ID x 5mm OD polyurethane airline.
