Most likely the line coming off the bolt going under the engine is the line to the right front wheel. Some models have a single tube off the brass block going to another junction block bolted to the frame with the split to the front wheels happening there. Yours apparently has the tube to the right wheel coming from a port on the bolt and no front junction block.

That arrangement is going to prevent you from leaving as much of the assy intact as you wished to do originally but not too much more work to disconnect the tube. The nut can be very snug so I would suggest you try and use the proper flare nut wrenches to remove and tighten the nut so the corners don't get rounded off.

The rear wheels are fed by a single tube clamped to the left frame rail to a point just in front of the rear axle. A hose connects from the end of the tube down to a brass block bolted to the top of the axle where the split to each rear wheel is made.
