Keep cigarettes, sparks, open flame, and other sources of ignition away from vehicle. Gasoline, methanol, and oxygenated fuels are toxic and flammable and must be handled appropriately. Having trouble figuring out how to disconnect your Ford fuel lines?
You may need one of these disconnect tools:. If the tool is not on hand, go onto step 2. Align the slot on the push connector disconnect tool with either tab on the retaining clip. Pull the line from the connector. Align the jaws of the pliers with the openings of the fitting case and compress the part of the retaining clip that engages the case.
Compressing the retaining clip will release the fitting, which may be pulled from the connector. Brinker88 , Jul 15, It works well if you push IN on the filter at the same time you're holding the tool and pulling OUT on the fuel line.
Took me awhile to get it the first time as well. My issue seems to be getting the sleeves of the tool into the fitting in order to release the catch inside. The sleeves on the tool won't fit in together, as I tried to explain. I'll spend a bunch of time time tomorrow going back and forth to auto parts stores checking what special tools they have available and if they have something I think worth a try, getting that and then fight with the pushing and pulling business all over again.
Yeah on my truck I needed the tool and the lines came off easy. You just have to keep at it man. If your truck has any type of rust on it like his did yeah that could be an issue. Just jam the tool in there and try to pull the line off It should come off easy. Oh and make sure you wear glasses rust and gas in your eyes makes for a bad day. FFparker , Jul 15, Update: Success. I exchanged the tool I was using with a different one from the parts store. With the replacement tool I was able to fit in and disconnect the fittings easily.
Turns out my problem was the original tool would close off center because the rivet which pivots the two arms of the tool was not centered, a manufacturing defect. Not sure if this is the tool or not but one end if this clip is smaller then the other end and I dont see how it would fit on the line itself. On my ranger which I bought used, of course, im doing what little I can to keep it in shape, oil change, air filter, etc.
Do you. Was this answer. Does this tool slide over the tube part of the filter itself? And from the looks of it, does this tool somehow slide up into the opening of the fuel line expanding it in some way allowing it to slide off?
