I never got that far. It was the factory crimped clamp that was the issue.� I was trying to cut/saw/release this clamp holding the fuel hose to the pump outlet so that I could then cut/remove the hose.� It was the tussle with the clamp that caused the breakage.

This is where a single edge razor blade comes in handy.� I NEVER pull,
pry or wiggle the hose(s) loose (both fuel or coolant) just because of
that very reason.�
