Hello! I have recently dived into the world of panthers head first with no floaties with my recent purchase of a blue 1986 crown victoria with 5.0 efi and bare basic options. However, with me going against the norm of everybody my age buying a honda civic or buick I have ran into issues.
The fuel pump failed, and I am replacing the fuel pressure regulator. Luckily for a MN car the only rust is in two spots in the trunk everything else is a breeze to unbolt. Except I can not get those fucking fuel lines to disconnect. I have the 5.99 autozone tool, and I managed to get my fuel filter lines off with it no issues, but the lines leading to the tank on the frame won't give in that easily or fall victim to a bumbling idiot's dumb luck!
So what do you do with that metal tool? and how am I being a dumbass?
Also while I'm asking stupid questions whats the best way to approach replacing the fuel pressure regulator? I see it appears to behind the intake, whats the best way to get at that?
