What the "Hot Rod" shows don't show ya! It's Willys time!

What happens here

The video begins with the presenter, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, introducing himself and the day's tasks: addressing mechanical problems on his farm. He highlights a significant oil leak on his 1950 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. He opens the hood to reveal the engine compartment and points to the oil filter and the oil supply line connected to it, explaining that this line is the source of the leak and needs replacement. He then uses a 7/16-inch line wrench to loosen the fitting at the oil filter housing. Next, he moves underneath the Jeep to access the lower connection of the oil line to the engine block. Due to tight space, exhaust pipes, and steering linkage, accessing this connection is difficult. He eventually manages to loosen it, but the old, brittle hose breaks off.

Goal: Safely remove the broken oil supply line from the Jeep's engine.
