have the fuel pump out but i cant get the main line on the fuel pump back on. it goes on with a main bolt on the hose and then there is another bolt that is suppose to unscrew. the only problem is it unscrews but it holds the hose with it, kinking the hose while i tighten it. so what we tried was to take the other end off and i was going to buy a new one. now we ran into another problem to where that other end wouldnt break loose. I almost got it loose but now ive broke the hard line on the other side and im not even sure how i can fix or replace that line( its very long under the car) Now im stuck and dont know what todo next and i really dont feel like taking this to a shop.
 
On that line underneath the car is where you need to undo that fitting. The smaller 14mm nut unscrews from the larger 19mm one. You never want to try to undo the fitting on top of the fuel pump assembly because you risk tearing the line.

that is beyond my issue right now.... i have the line off that is connected to the fuel pump and i have my new fuel pump in BUT the problem is i when i try and tighten it back it spins the hose with it KINKING the hose while it turns (the hose is not separating itself from the nut) SO what i did was try and take the other end off as well and i was going to just go and buy a new hose BUT once i tried doing that there is a HARD line that goes to the other end of the hose and while i was using both wrenches to take it off the hard line began to bend and we didnt notice it was bending. im pretty sure that hard line is F'ed now so basically im in a complete bind as of 45minutes ago.
