I'm currently replacing my fuel pump and every article sais to remove the 3rd fitting from the bottom instead from the top. I'm talking about this fitting

Well, mine looks pretty rusty and I'm affraid that I'll strip the nuts if I go from the bottom. Should I ignore that they're rusted and try to get them off or should I go from the top? (is it really that fragile)

i did mine , it was a bit rusted , make sure you get good grip the first time you do it. Spray some WD40 on it, leave it for a bit then try.

well...my wrench is stripping the nut and I can't do anything about it...

Did you use a flared wrench for those kind of fittings?

Yeah those lines can be a PITA! Get a flare nut wrench or a crowsfoot wrench. Here are some examples http://www.tooldesk.com/line-wrench.html. If you already got it done with your reg. combination wrench I would double check it for leaks.

Using flare wrenches is pretty much mandatory if you want to get that fitting loose without stripping anything. I had 2 flare wrenches to get mine loose and it popped off no problem, mine's a '91 too.

i agree. I used flair wrenches to take mine off and i sprayed wd40 on it like 20min before. you have to take that off or you wont beable to get the pump out.
