I can't get the front line off the fuel filter and I rounded it off. I drenched it in pb blast it wouldn't budge. I was an idiot and tried an open end wrench once and it rounded the corners slightly. Then I bought a 5/8" flare wrench and it rounded it more because of me rounding it with the wrench the first time.

So I figured the thing was already boogered up so I used vise grips and they just slip and do more damage.

So it's either leave it on or replace the fuel line up to the motor. Or I was thinking of cutting it out and using a small piece of fuel hose because it looks like a :emotions122: to replace the fuel line up to the motor.

I can get the back line off the filter I'm sure because it didn't have any rust on it and i soaked it in pb blast too. I didn't try it yet until I figure out what to do.

Any ideas on how to do this easy and cheap?
thanks
