help....removing hoses fuel filter extremely difficult
I removed my fuel pump fuse, and cranked the motor a few times to try and get the fuel/pressure out of the lines. I removed the screw clamps and pulled like a **** to try and remove the hoses....but they wouldn't come off of the filter! Anyone have any tips here?
Thanks

Don't pull on the hose because it just stretches and tightens itself around the little bump on the fuel-filter neck... what you want to do is as davey said - use a flat-head screwdriver and try to push the hose up and off from the base of the fuel filter rather than pull from the hose end... hope that makes sense... the hose will come off eventually ... just keep at it.

Fuel hose acts the same as a chinese finger lock. The more you pull on it, the more it grips on. So, the hose has to be pushed, not pulled.
Use pliers twisting back and forth to break the seal, then use a flat blade screw driver or some pliers ( I like the long bent nose)to push on the end of the hose.

WD-40 is a solvent, a water disperser, hence the WD. I thas some lubricating properties, this is why it is used a general remedy for many problems.
Generally speaking, mineral solvents corrupt rubber components. I suppose fuel lines are made of other material, else gasoline would have eaten through them real easy.
