Main hydraulic line replacement

I am trying to replace the main hydraulic line on an fgc25. I was told that I had to remove the ballast to get to the rear connection. I have taken the three main bolts out but cannot get the ballast to budge. I was told that there might be hidden bolts inside the fender well. I changed the same line on another day of our lifts recently and the rear connection was accessable from the back right to the pump. This one looks hidden between the fan and radiator. Can someone please tell me if there is an easier way or how to go about this? I would sure appreciate it this thing is becoming my nemesis. Thanks
