117738, Seperating metal lines from plastic clips
Posted by 98VengeI4, Nov-09-07 12:08 AM
Ok, underneath the car where the hard lines run on the passenger side, how can you take apart those metal/plastic clips that hold the hard lines together. I do have them unbolted from the body, just can't get the clips off.
Thanks,

your going to have to drop the crossmember to pull it out...thats going to be a fair amount of work. Why are you pulling the lines out?

agreed. Even when I ran all new 5/8" aluminum lines to and from the tank I just clipped the old ones and left them in there. No reason to take them out.

I didn't realize that it was going to be that much work. I was trying to change out the fuel supply hard line because it broke right under the fuel filter.
