Fuel filter lines...

Is there some special method to get the damn fuel lines off the fuel filter?? They appear to be some kind of snap on fitting but all the Kings men and all the Kings horses are not going to be able to pull them off. There has got to be a trick to this....

I swear Ford must have some welling hatred for people that like to work on their own vehicles.

Head to your nearest auto parts store and find a little fuel line tool for Fords. It costs around $5 for a cheap one. You'll be amazed how fast you can disconnect those seemingly permanent connections.

Buzzard is right, you need the tool. There is one little trick also. When you push the tool into the fuel line, at the same time, with your free hand, push the fuel line onto the tool. Then move the tool and fuel line away from the filter together. Once you do one side you will be an expert. The other side should take you 5 seconds.
Good luck.

Personally, I prefer a torch when working around raw fuel.


IT'S A JOKE PEOPLE!!!! PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS.
