Something like this -but check with other Forum members:
Amazon.com: Generic 9 Pc Hose Clamp Pliers Kit Ratchet Pipes Removal Tools Swivel Jaw: Automotive
You also need long "hose-gripper' pliers:
Sunex 3703 11-Inch Long Hose Gripper Pliers Set, 3-Piece - Needle Nose Pliers - Amazon.com
For your hands you need "high dexterity" mechanics gloves.Kevlar is not necessary but:
High Dexterity Work Gloves - Flex Gloves for Demanding Work Conditions
If you have big hands, jobs like this are impossible.
You need very small ,strong hands with long ,strong fingers and a surgeons dexterity-and inexhaustible patience. I have these deformities/quirks and my fellow mechanics sometimes beg me to do such work.They no longer tease me for being skinny!
Some of these parts you can not see so try looking at this parts diagram:
Fuel Tank
Memorize it and grope around ,with your eyes closed. Once you are familiar with the layout of parts ,it is easier to select the best instrument to work with.But you have to be comfortable,calm and have a Zen approach. Yup it is a tough job.
I hope this helps and wish you luck
Here is the pic of the fuel lines. They are supposed to come off easily but i can't figure it out. How do I get these off?
