3hrs wasted...went unde the car. Tens out I lost my disconnect tool. Went to autozone to get a cheap one. Came home took shit apart, got the wrong fucking size...put shit back together. Drive to autozone. Get a bigger fitting. Come home and try again...this one is to fucking big...FML!!!! Put shit together. Go back to get more fittings. Come home and try again. None work. Get super pissed and start thinking about just taking a hacksaw the the fucking fuel filter. I end up going ape shit trying to gt the disconnect t fitting on the filter with no success...put everyback together. Will try again on Sunday. Fucking sucks. I lost to a damn fuel line quick connect :(

Ps. I think autozone tools suck. The walls r thick. Couldnt fit the bitches in. Even bought the aluminum ones that were spring loaded. No matter how hard I pushed, damn thing wouldn't go in to unclip the line. Got dark and gave up, gunna try Sunday

Jn2, just try to keep this in mind.

It wouldn't be called work if it was easy.

the plastic multiset works perfectly fine....the only problem is that the hoses might have become stuck together...but it should not take more than 20mins to replace the dam thing...i know its a bitch...i was cursing at the dam thing for a while and then it just popped of...i was like dayam...it should not be that hard....lol

Well my buddy help me change the fule filter, turn out the little clip thing on the inside of the filter that hold the line was broken off, so the disconnect tool wasnt going to work, used a pick to just break all the othet tabs and got the filter out :) havent had a good chance to really get on it, but here's a quick vid, didnt notice any hesitation in the high end like it used to do...ill have to datalog and see what vince thinks...
