[T3] Replacing fuel lines & injectors

[Adriel Rowley]

To remove the crimped on fuel hose, cut it off. Found the best tool is a Dremel with a small cutting wheel, as dikes are too fat. The plastic block is fairly thick, but still be careful. When putting on new hose, I found having a bit longer hose made things easier, F.Y.I.. Oh, and I am sure you know this, but be sure to use F.I. hose clamps, not the worm drive. Hope this helps...


Thank you,
Adriel
