2002 pro sport starter removal - s&s107 engine

Greetings all. 1st attempt on removing the starter before I order a new to make the install easy. Primary was off, got the lock tab bent back enough to loosen the bolt. My question is. I am having a heck of a time removing the black boot from the positive on the starter. if I were to get if off. Would this oil line circled in green be in the way, hard to tell from pic, but it's a tight fit. Circled in blue, not sure what that is, but also hindering an easy slide out. Any suggestions on removing that cable, or is removing the oil line in green an option to make more room? Thanks!

As the cable should be loosened @ the battery, just push the cable down while pulling the starter out. Taking the oil lines loose Will make it easier. Once the starter is out, the rubber boot will be a bit easier to deal with too. Ur blue circle is the speed sensor. It can be removed if needed for clearance. It has an O ring so it may give some resistence.
