[archuletacr]

hi, im in the process of replacing the fuel pump in my 89 lesabre. Right now I am having trouble removing the hoses the attach the filler neck to the tank. Any tips or tricks to this? Or cut them off and replace them? Please help don't wanna start doing stuff I don't have to.Car has been parked for a year when problems started to arise ,but my civic is starting to have clutch problems and i kinda miss the big ole buick. Any help is appreciated.thanks

So what is the problem gettting them off something missing here?

take a razor knife and stab them to death, right down the center. but first call your local dealer and make sure they are still available and cheap. i just ended cutting them like mentioned above when i did mine. they are a beast and will take a while. if all else fails, carefully heat.

thanks i finally got them off without cutting them up, ended Up pulling the tank down enough so i could at them better and prying them off with screwdriver. oh yeah sorry they were stuck
