So (seriously) HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET THE OIL RETURN LINE OFF? Decided to watch the playoffs for the rest of the day...

Thanks
It was a "PITA" for me too. All I can say is patience and some luck. I was fighting with mine for quite awhile and had to leave it. I came back to it some time later and I got it off.
The clips are at 4 spots and you have to pinch it with pliers from two sides and use a flat head to lift the other clips. This is best done when the oil pan is loose so the weight of it plus movement helps the line disconnect.
I hope this helps.
