If all else fails, cut it off and replace with a short piece of rubber hose.

Theres two types of connectors.

One uses the fuel line disconnect tool.

The other - requires squeezing the, two, visible bits of plastic, whilst wriggling the line out.
... thats if the plastic clip isnt all out of shape from heat and time .. :rolleyes:
Try push the line in, before pulling it out.

Why carmakers dont just use time proven, effective, barbed fittings and hose clamps is beyond me .. :confused: .. :mad:


If all else fails and you have to cut it ... try and use a pipe cutting tool.

Using a hacksaw creates lots of filings that could end up back in your gearbox.
