Fuel Pump Rubber Hoses

[Ziggy1621]

Ok, the rubber hose that comes off the fuel pump to the hard pipe that eventually goes to the fuel filter is rotted. I do not want to have to drop the fuel tank because that includes dropping the entire rear end. Anyone know of a tutorial or way around it? I just cant see having to drop the entire fuel pump for one hose??

is there anyway you can just unbolt the straps and drop the tank enough on the subframe to sneak a hand up in there? otherwise from what ive read on multiple forums it looks like you have a lot of work to do... sorry man

Actually, I was able to bend the sheetmetal up just enough to get the hose clamp off. Then I replaced it with one of those spring clamps which made it easier to install. Now no leaks!
