Default Need advice on pulling flywheel housing

I’m trying to pull the flywheel housing to replace it but there’s this brake (?) line holder in my way and I’m not sure if I can move it.

I have the intake off, I’ve lowered the jack from under the engine and the housing is off the
alignment pins but is being just barely blocked by this. If I can’t move it then I think my only other option is to take the clutch off.

if you have any magic tricks I’m all ears,
-Will

I figured it out, the flywheel has 3 points on the edge where it thickens up and one of those was keeping the housing stuck, if you rotate the flywheel you can pull it off.

The worst part is getting that bolt out. About the only thing that fits up there is 1/4" drive.
