Subject:Question about fuel injector hose
From:Jim Felder

While I'm replacing my head gaskets, I've also pulled the injector
assembly to replace the fuel hose throughout.

I just got it out and in the floor last night. Today I took my first
good look at it and something puzzling has come up.

Everything down to the level of the injectors themselves is OK, a hose
clamp on each end will replace the band clamps. But when I get out to
the injectors themselves, I see that on their very short hoses there is
a band clamp on one end but the other is swaged into a cup-like metal
ferrule.

On account of that ferrule, how does one deal with replacing that final
bit of hose?

Thanks,

Jim
