ALTA BPV spring replacement on '11 MCS

Anyone put one in on an '11 MCS yet? I went to put mine in after reading the instructions on the website, but it seems that the coolant line routing is different than depicted. The coolant line on the '11 goes right over the back of the BPV, and it looks near impossible to remove the BPV without moving the coolant line (which is rigid hose BTW). Any tips/suggestions?

Woot, got it! I gently bent the hardline just a bit and moved the soft lines with screwdriver. Reinstall was a bigger pain, trying to keep the valve snapped in
