03 CL55 AMG A/C compressor removal?

I need to replace the the hose from the a/c compressor to the condenser, I can not find any clear cut info on the removal process. It looks like the compressor needs to be removed to get at the hose..........is there any tricks? Is there another way? Dynamite?

Any info or pics would be appreciated.

I'm new here as well, I get the impression these folks don't work on there cars. I understand why one would be weary of this, however my back-round is in the auto business and will be doing all repairs myself. I would lift the car up and remove the dust shields and study the configuration carefully. and by all means keep searching for info. I do have a spare engine and transmission maybe I can post some pictures of the unit on the engine for ya.

That would be fantastic!

I understand things are going to be needed to be removed, but if someone has already done this before it helps you to do it the correct way, and not waste time on procedures that are not necessary.

Come to think of it, that's why were all here on these forums.

KENCO, it's an old post. Did you manage to get the hose replace? If so, how did you do it?
