WOW you could have put the line in right next to the stock one and just bent the ends out of the way. Or just had a new end made and used a aftermarket fuel filter and eliminated the whole issue.

i still would have had the problem of putting the line in any tips on how to get this out/in?

Just get an aftermarket kit which enters into the engine bay at a different location to the stock hard line due to size restrictions. I still have a piece of stock fuel line down by the battery tray because I couldn't get that out of there.

thats the only problem i have about 50$ to fix this i dont get paid for 4 more weeks =[ napa can build me one for prob 50$ but i cant get the ####er in or out i was think about doing a rubber hose that is approved for the fuel pressure and have it pressure fitted to the bolts think that would work? then i could just wind it up there.

I think you need to drop that crossmember or what not to run the line anyway. Check in the manual to see how it's routed and if you are getting a new hard line, just do the procedure to install a new one and take out what needs to be dropped; wether it's suspension or the crossmember.

well my car has aftermarket wheels and i dont have the key to the rims so thats almost not an option and i dont have the manuel just the haynes book id rather do a hard line but the rubber hose would be soft and able to run anywhere should i just go with the rubber hose?

If you feel you can get the PROPER fittings for it to work and enough line for your budget, then yes that would be fine too. Make sure the line is for fuel and is oil/heat resistant.
