Hey guys,

Trying to do my intake plenum gasket. I've got it almost completely tore apart, but the fuel lines are stopping me. I have the bracket out of the intake and they are loose, but from my vantage point, the other end of them (right up by the firewall) are damn near impossible to get off. Any tricks?

 

I just gently bent them until I could get the plenum off

 

yeah thats how i always did them, theres a small bolt over there that holds them to the intake, take that out and bend them out of the way... its always risky cause then it can be a pain to put them back. only other way is to go under the truck and take out the trans bolt that is holding them secure
