EBP line removal HELP
I'm wanting to remove my EBP line to clean it, but for the life of me can't get the stinkin thing undone. Is it normal or reverse thread? Did you guys have to soak it PB Blast or some other kind of rust breaker? If any body has any step by step, stoopid proof instructions on how to get this thing off without f***ing it up, that would be great!

check here http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/ebps.html when I did mine I put then wrenches only far apart enough to be able to palm them and squeez them together(hope that makes sense) and muscle it a bit!

Rampage_350 and I just did this last weekend. used the crowsfoot on the sensor, and a open end on the manifold. I had to form a new tube out of brake line, cause when mine came off it had holes in it. It is much eaiser to make a new one when you have another good one to use as a pattern. cleaned out the sensor with brakeclean and a small pick/file. truck runs much better now. idle has smoothed out considerably.

Just looked at Guzzles site and I tried it a little different. I took it off at the manifold first and then unscrewed the whole bracket off of the hpop resivor. Seemed a little easier when I did it since I didnt have any crows foot wrenches and stuff. Then when I reinstalled it I left it loose at the bracket until I got it on the manifold. Then tightened it all up. I also had an oil leak at the bracket from when I changed the hpop so this seemed like a way to fix two things at once.

when you get the line it will be pre flared on both ends and have male compression fittings. cut off one of the flares and slide off the comp. fittings. slide one of your old female fittings onto new line. Start bending, this works better if your old tube is not falling apart, and can use it as a pattern.
slide the other female fitting on and flare that end and put back on truck.

let the truck get hot first, it will break loose easy with the crows foot, works wonders on broken manifold bolts as well, i have only ever had to use a torch once in all my years of broken bolts in exhasut manifolds and tubes....heat is the key

Useful tip!
When you are using the crow's foot take a small piece of duct tape and secure the crow's foot to the extension. If the crow's foot falls off while you are working with it and it falls down into a motor cavity it is tough to retrieve.
I know from experience.
