damn fuel filter!

[_turtle_]

hey guys, i'm in the middle of changing the fuel filter and have losened the hose clamps on it, but i cant pull the hose off!!! the damn fing is like just stuck, feels like its sucked on and won't come out. is there a method to pull of the hose? or do u just use excessive force and yank it off?

i don't want to damage the hose or anything, coz it looks like its kinda stretching a bit.

thanks

Did this job last weekend - not much fun eh?

Best bet is to buy some more EFI hose & cut the old stuff off. Since the hose is so well stuck on as it is you may damage the hose trying to remove it anyway. Save yourself some time & pain & just replace the hose - should only cost about $10-15.

ok, thanks for the reply. i'll go check out how much the hose is. hehe, i already gave up trying to change it, the hose just sucked onto the tip and wouldn't let go. stuborn thing.
