Finally bit the bullet and decided to drop the tank and pull out the fuel pump yesterday. 96 5.0 awd
After struggling to get the tank down a few inches I found the clips connecting the fuel line to the top of the fuel pump the "special tool" I had was too big (thats what she said ;0)~) so I had to hit the store for a new set of plastic fuel line / A.C. disconnectors.
Found the right size... pulled... nothing!
tried the other line... a little but still not off.
Struggled for HOURS and couldn't get it.
One shift a bout a half inch back and forth without releasing off completely and the other can spin but will not release at all.
I gave up for the night and am heading back over t my buddies garage now. Any suggestion on how to get this lose?
BTW- I changed the fuel filter to make sure I was using the tool correctly and made sure it fit correctly. I was and it did.
HELP!!!!!!!
