Penetrating oil and get an o-ring pick to get inside the hose. You lift hose from nipple than shoot oil or lubricant like PL100 and try to rotate the hose on the nipple.

Disconnect them in the wheel well and pull them through the body when you drop the tank.
When I drop a fuel tank I don't even pull the backseat, you can get everything from the bottom.

I hadn't thought of that, do you find that's easier overall, including getting he lines back through the body cavity at the end? I already cut some of the clamps and if GT4's method doesn't work, I will try doing this.
Also, it’s way easier if reservoir is empty2001 BMW E46 M3 Laguna Seca / M-Texture 6mt

Heroes of the day, Gt4 George Hill thank you kind sirs. Took me all of 5 minutes to get this out by disconnecting the far end of the lines and feeding the hoses through the body cavity. Yesterday was super annoying and I’m glad to have this out so I can keep going!

Attempted to put a new starter in, came to find out that someone already put one in and didn't even install the second bolt and on top of that the singular Torx bolt that was in there was rounded out.
Dropped the trans mount to give me extra space but still no luck, going on what's now day 4 of intermittently trying to work on it when the feeling of defeat no longer resides.
Tried an 8 & 10mm extractor socket as well as a 3/8 (measured the bolt profile with calipers and the 3/8 was closest to it, 3 thou of an inch difference, since the extractor socket set didn't come with 9mm smh).
