HELP! Blue spring screw up?
Hey guys in the middle of the blue spring mod... Tried o pull the ful line and placed a wrench on the brass nut. Trying to loosen twisted and kinked the fuel line. Got it twisted back and didn't completely kink the line. Am I not going to have enough fuel flow to run the vehicle correctly?

So if I can't get that brass fitting seperated I am assuming I don't need the green o ring?
I installed the cover plate the small plastic piece towards the top, tan o ring on the brass into the cover plate. Mine is just the black plastic with the spring is what I pulled out.
Thanks!

did you use 2 wrenches one to loosen and other to Hold???
I would get new fuel line
Problem is if you dont have the Flow or Proper Fuel PSI your going to Eat the Injectors
dont worrey you not the first person to do this

Yeah i tried and couldn't get the wrench on the one closest to the cover all the way and the other torqued it.
Is that an easy line to change? I haven't chased it yet. Do they sell it pre bent?
Also, since you're online I am getting done with an injector and placing the FICM back. I have a plate that I assumed went on the back to hold the two bolts. I for the life of me can't remember what went on the studs towards the front of the truck to hold the FICM to the brackets.

Here is the post I was thinking of

You may ask the OP if he still has the part number
And yes they come pre-formed.

It's been a long couple days, Up Pipe, #6 injector, Blue Spring, Now this fuel line and my power streering pump to go! Hoping I would have gotten it done tonight.
Next week it's the Tie Rod ends.

I do feel for you. I have been there done that on other projects.
I almost did one today. Thought I destroyed the top EGR valve
gasket when I hit it with some air to blow away the fluff I just
removed. That is going on the not to do list for next time.
Any time you see 2 nuts you really need to put a wrench on both.
I have seen stainless bided hose get done it.
It happens. So long as you learn form it.

P.S. Some sleep will help
