Default How to remove the SOB of a fuel line

Hi

Replacing a leaking intake. Trying to remove the fuel lines. I have the special little fuel line disconnect tool and no matter how hard I squeeze on the damn lines with that POS tool I can't get them to budge...

HOW TO DO IT THANKS

push the tool in so the spring in the collar pushes over the edge, twist the fuel line a little back and forth to break the seal and it should pull out about like a cork.

there's 2 little o-rings on the pump side that fit into the socketed end on the rail side. They get drier than a nuns **** sometimes and it takes a little wigglin' to get em' loose.

I hate those things. I had a bitch of a time getting my lines disconnected when I installed a Cobra fuel tank. Don't know what to tell you, I just kept at it until it gave in.

Go to your local parts store and look for the line lock's in metal, also with a small little handle you can push with your thumb with... i tried with the plastic ones and ended up using a wrench to pry at it to push the line off... they are pos's
