I have a 1997 740IL that I need to replace the High Pressure hose going to the pump. I can see and feel the banjo nut going to the rack on the side of the engine but cannot get an extension on it from the top of the car. do you have to remove the wheel and wheel well/underbody?

Hello, not sure I'm answering in the right place.... I just did this yesterday on my '95. I first removed the front end of this hose from the pump (and several others that were in the way, grrrr) so that I could pull the front end up and out the top of the vehicle, and could thereby bend it out of the way (toward the rear). Now the banjo nut is accessible. If I'd had a 19mm or 3/4" short socket and small universal joint and a 12" extension, it might have worked. I ended up putting a normal box wrench on it and then pulling with all my might to break it free.
