99 Blazer remote oil filter line replacement help

I'm replacing the lines to the remote oil filter on my 99 Blazer for the 3rd or 4th time. Unfortunately, I've had another person help each time and I'm having a little trouble. The line to the radiator was easy enough. Just remove the air box and lower cover. I had to use a 12" and 6" extension to get to the bolt that holds the rear mount to the engine block. My problem is: How do I fish the oil line(s)/block out? I've tried everything, and I have a clear view of the assembly. It just won't fit through the smaller opening. It won't go backwards either. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to pull the oil line(s)/block out? I would cut it up, but the new one has to go back through too.
