Jesus, this is turning a simple project into a complete charlie foxtrot. Pull the damn thing off. They make the tool because there are gullible people that will buy them, even though they're completely unnecessary.

i don't mean to be rude, but how can someone with SOOOOO many tools not know how to do something so simple? All you need is the tools god gave you, a index finger and a thumb. The white part will stay on the fuel rail and the black part will come off.
If you're that confused as to how to take a fuel line off why do you have so many tools in the first place? I try not to judge people, but seeing this makes me think you just buy tons and tons of snap on tools so you can simply say "i have a ton of snap on tools". This is a pretty rudimentary task when it comes to general car maintenance.

What tool? You told me not to use a tool.[/QUOTE
So I'm reading down through the page, get to the aforementioned line, and laughed out loud for the first ever reading on this site. I would like to see how long this can go on. I think it is great humor.

This is the tool you are looking for:
I think this would work better:
It'd fix the problem with the CV joints too..

This has to be one of the best threads ever. You guys are cracking me up!
Not to worry Merk...I was duped by those stupid little disconnect tools too. Thought I would get ahead of the game and go ahead and buy a set of them at HF before I started the project. Then I get in there and see its just regular old hose clamps

Merk is finally going to realize, he IS a tool.
NO STORE BOUGHT tool is required for that clip. There is one of those gm bubbles, that the clip sits on (stem side) and the other end is the nut (as well as some of the posters here)
I went to Orielly's site, and grabbed you this picture, so you can see the filter off. You press those pieces down, push the line towards the filter and it will pop off as said. The clip should be on the new filter.

The "pins" are either sprues or risers, they are features of the plastic molding process of that fitting, when a piece is injection molded, you need a place to put the molten plastic in and a place for it to run out so that you ensure the mold cavity is full and there is no trapped air. Sometimes depending on the application, like scale model cars, you finish trim the mold flash and the sprues/risers, sometimes, you let 'm stay.

That's interesting.I wonder how well it works on truck air lines.Most trucks are put together with push connects these days which are a real pain in the *** to get apart after a few years.I think I'll show them to the boss and see if he'll spring for a set as shop tools before I buy my own,that way I can try them first.

Those are the greatest thing since oompa-loompas! Theres a thread about them awhile back and when I looked into getting a set, I realized our shop already had a set of em. I never realized truck air lines could be so easy to pull.

Good deal!!
Like I said in your pressure gauge thread, just because it passes a pressure check doesn't mean your pump is good. Testing for pressure is only half of the test, you need to check for pump volume as well, that's what the clear hose is for on your guage.

Have you checked the nut behind the steering wheel?

The fuel filter is rarely the problem in these scenarios. If it's not running right, check the fault codes.

thats why i suggested a test drive with a guage. a volume problem would show up as low pressure under load.

What truck do you have? I love driving trucks/vans.
I relinquished control of the Buick to the repair shop today. I had to drive my truck to work. I hate driving trucks.
You dont enjoy being king of the road?!?!? Well other than 18 wheelers of course.

To update and put an ending to this thread, it was discovered that the Buick needed a new MAP sensor.
Thank you for your participation and good night.
What, we're not going to discuss the tools necesssary to replace the MAP sensor? I'm disappointed to say the least...

Apparently it doesn't take any tools; the sensor is piggybacked on the PCV lid and held in place by plastic hold down clips. But since one of the hold down clips has been broken by the technician, I'm gonna have to go to the dealer tomorrow and buy a new PCV lid.

One problem: The mud in that yard would get his tool dirty.
