How do you un-do this fitting ? tried loads of times and cant shift it

 

I could be wrong but I'm sure you need a special tool to remove the factory fuel pipe

 

Easy, I use a jubilee clip, cut the nut bit off, then slide the clip up to the connector, then pull!

 

good tip ...

 

did mine like this came apart really easy.instead of the jubilee clip i used a 15mm copper olive.

 

Ok I dont understand that though, can you explain abit more Shaun mate sorry

 

Just a sec, I did a write up on this for the rsoc, I'll see if I can find it......

I just use a small screw driver tbh.

 

Just like cozzy Jeffs pic Paul, there's a circular spring in the connector, so you need something ring shaped like a jubilee clip to realese it!

 

this is what you need to undo them http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/Air-Con...=9&category=90

you can just slide a thin piece of metal up as shown above ^

 

In practice the sprung ring fixing is quite loose, I found just a screwdriver ground a bit thinner was enough just dislodged the sprung bit to one side through the tiny gap and pulled, came off dead easy, I have the correct tools but mate had these at time.
