good to know...
would they your style be different than mine?

because all i did was take the plastic peaoce out of the ends of teh lines, and poped them off.

then unclamped the bracket around the filter, wiggled and wiggled, then pryed a bit, the walla!

don't know......but I've been in a position where the connection did break, and a custom line had to be fabbed.....not something you want to have happen in your driveway....and the Ford replacement pieces are stupidly priced and likely not in stock

not a worry for me now.....I'm running a #8 SS line from the rails right to the tank...with a Magna fuel filter....all anodized fittings etc
