Default how to remove OEM fuel rail fitting ?

I wanted to use a male to male M12 x 1.25 to -6an fitting on the end of OEM fuel rail.

Q:

1) so how do you remove the stock fuel rail inlet fitting?

2) is it threaded or just pressed in with some sort of sealer from the factory?





* I tried heating it up with MAP gas and using VICE grip already.
* I went to Ace Hardware but they didn't have the right nut (was going to try to use 2 of them & try to turn if off)

I put mine in the vice and used vice grips. You can double nut it.

what size nut did you use? I couldn't find any that worked.

What size is the inner pitch thread after you took off the brass inlet fitting?

I used vice grips. You just gotta make sure you get those vice grips on there tight enough. I got it to the point to where I was barely able to lock the vice grips on. If you double nut it, I think it's a 14mm but it has to be short enough to fit 2 on there.

Pitch is 12mm x 1.25. So you need a 12mm x 1.25 to -6AN fitting with a crush washer.
