Hey, I have an 89 Formula with TPI that I'm trying to replace a fuel filter on, and the fittings on the line are so rusted and stripped that I'm only doing more damage trying to get it off.

Any thoughts on what I could do? What will be required if I have to mash the fittings to get the old one off? Is my daily driver, so I can't have her out of the loop for more than a few hours. Any help'd be great.

 

When i did mine i hosed it with WD40 the night before then hosed it again before i got started. Broke free with a little grunt effort.

 

Use flare nut wrenches, these won't round off the flare nuts and cost about $8 for a set of 4.
