Good lookin out.. thought I was going to break my rusted fuel line, but got it done. I need to move south to get a reprieve from mid-west winter roads, or get a winter beater.

Oh I know this, mine was already rounded off when I got started on replacing mine. The vice grips didn't hurt it any haha.

But really, just get a quality tubing wrench and use some pb blaster like Net said

Thanks for the advice man. I've got a little while until I need to change. Hopefully mine isn't rusted and it's easy to take off.

Lol...i started out JUST changing my fuel filter and fuel pump a few days ago, i ended up stripping the flare end nuts on both sides, so i had to replace my fuel lines...So i though, though some more, and thought a tad bit more and said,"Well since im replacing it, i might as well..." Now im in the middle of building an E85 fuel system.

fyi on these 'spray wrenches'....try some TRI-FLOW, comes in a black aerosol can with orange and yellow printing....the best I've found, removed my exhaust manifold bolts (all 12) from my 64 Ford original 292v8 pickup with socket wrenches and no heat, to replace with headers..... soaked and tapped them every day for 5 days, works on stuff like this that you're talking about, ...a little expensive, but it's worth it. Not at auto parts store, only a good hardware store.

i suggest you guys use a flared nut wrench when breaking the nuts loose. make sure you have another wrench securing the fuel filter. liquid wrench is your friend. Being in CA helps a lot also lol.

Yup.. flare nut wrench is definitely a must for that those type of bolts with the steel lines. regular (U) wrenches expands/slips and will make the head round.
