77 Fuel Line Removal
Just acquired a 1977 in the past month and wanted to change the fuel filter (Q-jet carb) which according to records had about 12 years or 9K miles on it. With a tubing wrench, I found that the line at the carb was rounded a bit, and perhaps overtightened in the past. The previous garage also put teflon tape, a no-no I know. I bought a new fuel line, and plan to remove the old line from the fuel pump and then cut the line and get a box wrench on it and hopefully it will break loose, then change the filter.. There is an air cond. compressor blocking a good view of the fuel pump. Would you jack it up and loosen up the line at the pump from underneath, or unbolt the compressor and go at it from the top?
