I'm trying to change my fuel line for the mpfi conversion. I can get the top service bolt of easily but the second bolt with the flare washer thing wont budge. Any tips on getting this off without stripping it?

This is what I'm talking about:

Oh and I have searched for this on the forums but haven't had any luck.

Lol, obviously *face palm* But do I grab the washer with a open ended wrench and use a socket on the bolt?

 

isn't the flare washer one piece with the nut part circled in red?

Hmm, guess it is then lol. So I need a special tool now?
Didnn't think this thing would be that much of a hassle.

 

I thought you just put the wrench around the nut and turn it? are you holding onto the flare as well pushing the other way

what about using a wrench around the flare or a vice grip.

change that service bolt for a bolt like on the other side after

 

They make a banjo bolt socket as well

 

The filter has a place for a wrench right under that bolt. You hold one spot while you turn the other. Use a third wrench for a cheater if you have to, it's really not that hard.

 

Ah I didn't notice that. I'm guessing a 17mm fits there as well to hold it?

 

Alright so I tried what you said zrickety, and it popped off! I just put an adjustable wrench right there at the filter and used a ratchet at the top.
Thanks! I feel like a noob now lol.

 

Ha! NEWB!!
