Default Help. Fuel Line Question.

Like a Bonehead :cry , I twisted and broke the fuel line between the carburetor and the fuel pump. I ordered and received a new line, but I can't figure out how to get a wrench on the nut going into the fuel pump. Has anyone had to replace this line? Is there some “trick” to it that I'm missing? There is no room to work down there. I am open for suggestions. My car is dead in the water now. :mad

Funny you say this, I just replaced mine lastnight, had to get a new fuel pump doto not being able to get the nut out of the pump! Why not go ahead and replace the pump while your there, $25 and a little work so you have no worries!!

It is possible, just a PITA. Also use a backup wrench on the pump body, or else you can damage it when tightening, I know...
