Fuel injector removal

[robd88]

I'm in the process of doing a carbon cleaning and will be removing fuel injectors to send out for cleaning. I've got down to the injectors and all are accessible to remove except for cylinder #3 (passenger side closest to firewall). The electrical connector can be unclicked and slid partway off but is being blocked by some tubing. It's very tight in that area and I just don't see how it can be removed. I tried moving some tubing and in the process broke one due to it's brittleness and I'm afraid to move any other tubing.

Vehicle is a 2010 Q5 3.2L V6

Anyone have any suggestions?

Personally, I would deliberately break and replace all the brittle hoses, but that's just me. . .I only want to do something like that once.
