This means your trick can only work fully where there is enough freedom in the hard line to release the fitting from its bracket while the joint is still done up.
Yes I forgot to mention this sorry. The D2 is similar as it has two pips on the flexi fitting to hold it in to the bracket. On the front, if the flexi is stuck in the bracket I unbolt it and spin the bracket and flexi together. On the rear (welded bracket) I support it from underneath with the transmission jack and percussively free the flexi from the bracket and then spin it round.

Re LCDs, I'd be in for a couple of sets if the price is sensible - either the odo or the centre display, or both.
