Default Fuel Line Mounting Stud

How hard is it to remove the fuel line mounting stud from the stock fuel rail? I plan to upgrade to stainless fuel lines and would like to use the an to metric adapter vs. the an to banjo fitting. This is on an ITR motor in an EK. Thanks in advance.

No one here has removed or tried to remove the mounting stud?

How hard can it be to place a wrench on it and turn?

Where are you going to put a wrench? Once the nut is removed there is the stud remaining with only threads. You would have to use vice grips or similar to remove the remaining stud.

Make sure you have a lot of time to do this. Might be a lot of down time.

Could try to double nut it. Spin on one nut and then spin the second one on after it, tighten second on down while trying to loosen the first then use the first nut as the removal wrenching point.

Another option would be to get a second oe fuel rail or aftermarket unit and do the swap out with less risk of leaving your stranded.

I was thinking of trying the double-nut trick. I would assume the outer nut has the same thread and pitch of 12mmx1.25?
