How in the Heck.....

Post by plowboy »

do you get the fuel lines off the fuel tank? I need to drop the tank and put in a new fuel pump. Tried lowering the tank but it just pinches the lines and i still can't reach up in there or really see to get them off. Any tips appreciated.

My apologies. It's an 88. Need to put a new pump in the tank. Can't get the lines off the top of the tank. Not sure how to release the clips when I can't see them or even reach them.

the clips just slide out of the fittings just push a flat head screwdriver under the tabs on them and pry out then just pull the lines off or take the lines off at the filter canister on the frame rail .........you said u cant reach or see the lines on top of the tank .....let it down with a floor jack and get under the bronco and u should be able to get at them from the front side just reach over the rear axel and there they are ....hope some of this helps ya
