Removing the turbo oil feed line off the turbo can be a problem without destroying the line. I have ground down wrenches to help with the ALH motors but the BEW ones are even harder. I thought I would try something with one sitting on the shop floor before I touched it with a wrench. I heated the top nut up with a propane torch until the oil was smoking around the top part and it turned right off with ease leaving the bottom part where it was meant to be. If you try this in the car I would suggest having a fire extinguisher handy and I probably would not do this on a very oil covered engine.
