Hello Everyone,
I had someone else work on my truck because I am travelling. He did my shocks alright but when it came to the fuel line... he messed up.
When he was trying to do the fuel filter... He didn't tell me that he broke a plastic clip on one of the connectors. And he didn't tell me that he crimped the metal connector on the opposite side (non braided line).
I was able to do a search and found the following to fix the plastic clip:
(dead links)
I wasn't able to find anything regarding the metal connector. I tried using the special fuel filter tool to remove the connector but it only slides in one side of the connector and is unable to insert on the other side.
I seen in the forums here that someone used pliers to ensure the tool goes in properly to the connector. I'll try this tomorrow.
Does anyone know if these can be replaced? Is it like plumbing... will I need to buy a small pipe cutting tool?
Respects,
