Hmm. Properly remove oil feed line without bending?

Ok i picked up a small T28 Today. I can see the oil feed line is in there pretty good. It bends around and makes it even harder then ever. How can i get leverage without bending & twisting, trying to do this legit?!?! Any ideas welcomed!

It should be a flared fitting on a hardline, right? Similar to the fuel line connections?
Spray some PB blaster if it's rusty, and use a flare wrench on it. Once you break it loose it shouldn't be hard to get out.

Also make sure to put a vice grips on the line to prevent from twisting it off, they generally rust up pretty good.
