Replaced Fuel Pump...

but the hose that attatch to it were a super PITA to get back on, so I damaged one of them to a point where it leaks a bit.

Looking at the FSM, it looks like the other end of the hose can be accessed by just removing the driver side rear wheel. Just wanted to double check..

I would like to drive the car to work tommorrow and most likely fix it there.. Anything I can use for a temporary fix with stuff layin around the house? Duct tape? Thanks a bunch.

I just got this problem fixed yesterday by my mechanic. it was a slip-on/slip-off job once he put the car on a lift. The part is about $44 to replace. All he did was take off the rear driver wheel, pull it off(the old hose), and forcefully put the new one on. Now mine had 2 slices, which was causing my gas to leak when i drove and leak when i pumped gas. For a quick fix, i wouldn't recommend duct tape for a period longer then 3 days, even that is too long. the adhesive will wear pretty quick if gas is trying to leak out(i think) so if u have any STRONG/Sturdy like packaging tape, wrap it around the tear until you can get the new hose.

I'm not 100% sure but that's just the advice i'd follow.
