Then I crammed my hand in there (tight fit) but it was finger out then.
Reverse procedure going back in.
I can change it in just a couple of minutes now.
Why do you have to do it so much?

Can you explain that one to me?

Slip the hose over the end and use it to turn it. Since the hose is flexable. it easy to turn.

Talyn is right. the hose is one that you buy or you have in the shelf, for water, gas or anything and you cut a piece of that and do what Talyn wrote.

I'm assuming that this is after you've loosened it with the stupid tool. I was thinking I should still take the bowl out because my fuel lines in the V look absolutely horrible. Where can I get new one's? Would a hardware store have hose that is safe for diesel fuel? Or maybe I could make the switch to electric fuel! Too bad its probably outside my current truck fund.

I used 3/8" fuel injection hose from napa. Had blue rubber inside covered in black rubber. was rated for diesel and can handle 300 psi. Was a little more expensive but you don't need more than a foot of it.

Thank you, And just so you guys know, a) I spend too much time here apparently because I took the two study quizzes for my multivariate calculus class and only got 5/10 and 4/10. I have never missed class and the mid-term is at 10:30 in the morning and b) I plan on finally getting this project wrapped up on friday morning when it is supposed to be snowing. Got to go cram-study now.

Well actually six now that i think about it, unless you count upgrades. Then the truck will be in perfect condition other than the body.
