Need quick help with removing fuel pump

[Kdouglas89]

I am stuck on the flare fitting under the car. The lines are pretty old so I dont want to jerk to hard.

I have vice grips on the 14 nut, and a 3/4 on the other.

Does the 3/4, or the 14 rotate? and to be sure, it rotates counter clockwise "lefty loosey" correct?

The 14mm one rotates. And yes lefty loosy

I got a 19 wrench on, and vice grips on the 14. This thing will not budge!!

Any other advice?

I am going to buy some now. I have been using WD-40, but I have seen a few times to use PB blaster. Will update in a bit.

Thanks

This does not seem right at all. I am pushing away on the 19, and pulling towards me on the 14 correct? "That is if im laying on passenger side". I am stripping the 14 with the vice grips. I am a pretty strong guy, and this thing absolutely will not budge, even being hit with pb blaster over and over.

This is really starting to annoy me.

Vice grips? Really? Thats a fitting that goes around a pipe.

I don't understand what you're saying. Many tutorials I have read advise using vice grips on the 14.

PB blaster and some strength and you'll be alright. Keep the 19mm still and turn the 14mm

I am using that video as reference but I am still stuck on this fitting below the car.

Use a flare wrench. You probably can't now. You e already got the fitting at the pump and you're working on the other one under the car? If so dont bother. The only one you need is at the pump assembly.

No, I cant get the fitting at the pump either.

If I try to get the fitting at the pump, I start the bend the metal line.

I am using 2 flare wrenches now, with no luck. Not budging. Constant PB blaster.

THis is correct right?

 

[Kdouglas89]

I am done with this. I can't break the fuel tank fitting loose because I just bend the hell out of the metal line. I cant undue the fitting under the car because it needs the hulk or something. I just broke a bracket the holds a line up under the car. It shot at me like a freakin bullet.

Things I have tried
*Flare wrenches
*PB blaster
*WD-40
*Vice grips
*Both top and bottom fuel fittings.
*More PB blaster.

Any help would be awesome.

You need to get a flare wrench on that 14mm before it strips out and your F'ed.

Line the wrenches up so you squeeze them together. Works like a charm.

EDIT: Ok missed the part where you got flare wrenches. Try my trick tho!

Negatron.

I already have my 550's and afpr installed. Might just put everything back together without pump and throw a quick tune with link

Use some locking pliers. I had to use them a couple of times for the fuel fitting and also the fittings for the brake lines.

This was supposed to be a relaxing day of installing something simple. This has turned into the most irritating car day by far. I cant even get the fuel pump O ring on... This is so rediculous...

Might help to take a file and sharpen teeth of the locking pliers so they hold on better.

The fitting ontop for me looks a lot less rusted. But everytime I try to get good pressure and turn the fitting, it starts twisting the metal line

 

[VtecvrsTurbo]

Lets just keep the word "torch" out of this thread.

I seriously would have looked up how much that line cost and just the dam thing off by now. Also this may be your DD and cash isnt as easily spared. . .

1g guys, this is different. The nut doesn't turn on the 2g sending unit, it is brazed to the tube. You have to unhook the hose from the other end where it hooks to the fuel line than spin the hose to get it off. The nut will not break lose.

I'm 100% sure your correct, but I swear when I took apart my 1995 AWD Talon,(AWD swap for GST) I removed that line thinking I would need it for the swap.

I was also about 8 beers past sober. . .

This is correct. The nut is attached to the line. I was hoping I might be able to twist the hose enough to get it off, but I cant even break that hose loose.
