    I worked both from above and through the wheel well. Pulled the driver side wheel and skirt, removed the airbox and MAF, loosened the belt and removed the pulley off the pump. This gave just enough room to get a wide mouth adj wrench on the 24mm hex part on the pump side of the hose and a 24mm closed end wrench on the outside hex.
    Use a crows foot 19mm and an open 19mm for the other end of the hose. I disconnected/connected this first. Would have been even tougher to try and connect this after the pump end was already connected.

    Oh yeah, remember to connect the MAF back up after you put everything back together. Car runs like crap if you forget this.
