fuel pump removal with fuel line connection seized on?

[gleem]

replacing the fuel pump in my 92 camry. One lin is just a rubber hose and clamp. the other is a metal line with thread and nut connection. I can not take this off. I have 2 full sized vise grips on there and have used heaps of crc. there is good access and cant get to budge.

Is there anything else i can do?

Being this type of connection i assume i cant cut the metal line and put a fuel hose in.

Give the nut a good smack with a hammer then try and undo

[Bling]

Are these threaded the standard way?

Been years since I did mine, but access was shit and it was stuck well on like yours is. Vise grips, tsk tsk.

[gleem]

the standard way?? i assume so. i put 2 grips on as tight as i could get them and used 2 leverage pipes and i just grated the metal

[Bling]

Sorry, by standard I just meant the usual thread direction. Been a while since I did it, but I know mine was tight as f**k! I wouldn't use vice grips though, but I guess that is a personal choice Just make sure you're undoing it the right way, spanners wouldn't go a miss.

Vice grips, what the fu@k

[gleem]

yeah used spanners but they eventually started slipping and slightly rounded the nut. and yeah i checked the direction of the thread

Vice grips, what the fu@k

Yea pretty much your problem. You need to be using some crows foot spanners. As you will strip the nut using vice grips or a normal spanner if its tight.

If you have already fkd the nut you will have to replace the whole copper line.

By crows foot he means flare nut



or these work well



If I didn't know about the tools above I would have tried vice grips also :p

Take it off at the other end. Gonna have to replace it now anyway. Next time, flare nut spanners are your friends. Vice grips have teeth, they strip the $&#$% out of things.
