of coarse an easy maintenance thing turns into a problem. I was changing the fuel filter and removing this hard line, it snapped off from the fuel filter, and then it stripped, my question is do i have to buy a whole new line or can i buy a new fitting?

 

you can drill it out and reuse if it's not to bad. might need to buy a new one anyway, what kind of condition is it in?

 

its in bad shape, i cant even keep a wrench from slipping, can i just buy a fitting somewhere?

sorry, I got confused. you cannot replace just the fitting....well you CAN, but it would be cheaper to replace just the hardline. napa sells it by the foot, so should anyone else. take it off, tie a string to one end, stretch it out to the full length, lay string out flat and then get the closest size to that and go bigger not smaller. it will be a straight length of hardline with 2 fittings already on it and will be about 8 bucks tops. connect one end, and start bending it to get it to go where you want it.

 

im not talking about the piece tht broke off, im talking about the fuel line that is stuck in there and stripped out.

 

so am i, see second post

 

get a new filter. did you used the fuel line wrench tool?

 

im sure he didnt, neither did I but then again I plan on going steel braided in the next 6 months so I didnt care, lol

 

If not I would try the wrench first, it may take it out, and you'll need the wrench sooner or later.

 

i got it, thanks for the help though, i used an impact on the large part and broke it free, and got the new one on
