oops.......
ok so i f'd up when i did the shim to to the fuel pressure regulator and broke the threaded nipple part off in the brass nut on the fuel line..........so now it looks like i need to replace both that fuel line and the regulator housing if not the whole fuel filter housing as well, don't know if i can buy the regulator by its self.
So my question now is how do i disconect a quick disconect,? is there anything besides just pulling that one section of hard line out that i need to do, ie remove other parts to have enough space? and if necessary how do i go about romoving the fuel filter housing, really hoping that i don't have to replace that? thanks in advance.

Well, I thought Diesel Innovations carried the replacement FPR housing and almost blurted that out. I checked their site and it is no longer listed??? They still have pics of it in the tech article section. I would give them a call to see if they may still have some. Good luck. At any rate, I would think that you could get a replacement without replacing the whole bowl. From a junkyard at least. Good luck.

no i mean the conection below the engine, i have to replace that whol fuel line cause the threaded end of the fpr broke off inside the brass nut on the fuel line and i can't get it back out.

It uses a standard QD tool available from any part store. The DI facory FP end cap is available here for $10. They could possibly overnight it if you can't get one local. I would spray that fitting with PB blast and use an extractor to get it out. Might need to "manipulate" the line a bit for access.

Whoops. That is the wrong one. Call them about the other one. I linked the wrong one. That is simply a cap. Sorry.

man that sucks..maybe after you get it out and in a vise..you can get it free.. I still have the lines I got a year ago..I couldn't believe the price.. there welded together so both lines will need to come out....one of my lines are rusted.just hasn't leaked yet.. maybe there is another way of putting a line not using the stock line???

what you need is an easy out tool. They come out pretty easy.
