fuel filter
hi guys...first tread on here.
i am trying to replace the fuel filter on my 97 f250 hd. i bought the tools to slip in between the filter and the line...goes in fine, but it will not let the line off of the filter. i even tried pryin g and wiggling the tool and nuthings working....any ideas?

More beer. One of these times when you go out there and do it, it'll just pop right off. That's what mine did. I don't think there was anything magical or different the 20th time I did it, it just popped off. Sorry I can't be of any more help.

Hey, what about duct tape!?? You forgot about duct tape!!
Yeah, well, glad you got it fixed. Since it was a bit of a rigging, I'd keep an eye out for it for a while, make sure your "fix" fixed it.

well i dont belive in the " if you cant fix it duct it" method, but the quick connect held up fine....but the rubber braided part didnt, dry-rotted from the inside out, and sence i cant get a new fuel line at and auto parts store (not yet avalible) i had to have a buddy of mine put a ballon flare on the line and double clamp the high preasure hose till i have the time and money for the new line i have to get from the dealer. seems to be holding up just....for now
