I tried to take off the fuel line that goes between 2nd and 3rd runners... Couldnt get that thing to come off...

Does anyone have a good method to take the fuel line off the fuel rail?

yes, get a pair of needle nose and grab the fuel line over the area that covers the inlet/outlet pipe and twist up and down until it moves freely. be care fuel not to puncture the line by sqeezing to hard.

hey thanks for the reply.

By twist up and down do you mean rotating clockwise and counter clock wise?

twist, pull, jerk, yank. i use a little dental too that has a slim edge to pry under the edge of the hose and break the seal that way. be prepared to replace that line if it gets gauged or looks old.

use some WD40 i use that on all my dried up rubber hoses and it works great. and when u use plyers put a rag around the tube so u dont tear up the hoses.
