Turbo coolant line removal

I’m having issues removing both coolant feed lines off the block the front one won’t budge at all and the rear one wiggles. Anyone have any tips to removing these?

my engine was out and low mileage and those are hard af to remove. Took me few hours to remove one single turbo.

No trick really, I use pb blaster, pull, wait, pull, pb blaster, pull and wait.

I managed to keep the block clean and the line reusable.

I’ve been trying for days I used a pry bar and a screw driver and it still won’t budge and I don’t want to break the line

Prying on both sides? They dont like to come out just prying on one side. They gotta come out even.

Ok so I finally was able to get it off I sprayed pb blaster down the actual line and hit it with a mallet left and right until it broke free.
