Buddy, Posting pics is easy now for me once Steve sent me some info how to do it. I use my I Phone 6S to take them and use it to post. No resizing, photo websites or fees. If I can do it anyone can. Be glad to share info.

I worked on getting the fuel line off of the fuel pump on my '67 427 Corvette. This pump has been on this car since September of 1966 and the original line doesn't want to come off. There's no room to move the line wrench once I get it on from the bottom and it's hard to get leverage from the top. Any ideas from the group would be appreciated. I continue to soak it with penetrating fluid.

Better leverage from bottom side if accessible Tim?

Sounds like you can get the line wrench on it from above, but can't budge it. Do you have room to do this?

Crows-foot flare nut wrench & wobbly extension?

I got a vice grip on the end, but it wasn't too stable. Someone called me to say pull it off with the line attached since I have the carb end of the line off. Of course, that means pulling the radiator hose and heater hoses off. That is the route I'll go when our weather warms up. I don't want to damage the original pump or line. Better to remove it as a single unit.

Tim, I usually have been able to get the line off laying on the floor and using a line wrench from underneath with the car elevated, and using a 3/4" wrench on the pump line block to support it from buckling the underside of the fuel pump body. Of course this only works with the square block type 40482 pump.
