1,000psi+

if it's the rubber perishing then the problem would only get worse however I'd tend to agree that engine out for it is a bit extreme.

I do lol some times , I had the same problem on my c5 rs6 ..

No other way than engine out to to the way it's routed behind the heat shield .

The engine will need to be dropped on a platform not a engine hoist..
