Default HELP! Question!!!

I was replacing my valve cover gaskets and everything went well and when i was putting it all back together I was having difficulty hooking the passenger side fuel line back up to the fuel rail that sits right under the MAF housing. I messed with it and couldnt get it threaded then I noticed that my dumbass stripped the very end of the thread of the nut that is on the fuel line. So what can I do before I go replacing half the fuel line???

Thanks in Advance...

You look like that funny guy on TV.

I forgot you could change your profile pictiure. And as of this time, you did. Never mind.

Go to a tool supply house and get a thread file, may want to pick up 2 different sizes. Just match up the file pitch to the nut thread pitch and carefully work it around the stripped area.
