When I replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, I used a pair of channel-lock pliers with long handles for maximum leverage. A trick I use is to try to loosen the fastener enough to coax it to a place where I can get a good grip on it, then I slide it down the line in one swift motion. Remember your PENCILS for the fuel lines when you do this. :) Sam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Autos - Get free new car price quotes http://autos.yahoo.com
