I've read what I can find using search; but I haven't found an answer yet. This is the first time i've done fuel lines.

The rennbay fuel line is a smaller diameter than the original. Has anyone else who has installed these lines experinced difficulty getting the hose over the hardline? I tried with all my might (however much that may be) to force the hose onto the hardline, but it wouldn't go more than a couple of mm.

Any suggestions? I know it's kind of a n00b question; but I'm learning as I go here.

I too had an issue with this on mine, I ended up heating up the end of the hose a little with a heat gun (hair drier works too) and made it a little softer so I could push it on there further. GL.

Heat will help. I my case I used a window cleaner solution similar to Windex which evaporates some what quickly. A highly diluted dish washing liquid solution will also work. Use a fine spray bottle to lightly cote the hard line without spraying the solution in the tube, and the hose should slide on.

Thanks for the quick replys. I was thinking of some kind of evaporative lubricant. I think i'll try the watered down windex on the hardline approach.

For those blasted metal crimps i've been reading that people use dremel tools to saw them off. Is there a less fire-prone way to remove them? Or should i just be wearing my nomex gloves and using cutting oil and take the plunge for a dremel?

Side cutters or snips to cut then I used needle nose pliers to peal the crimp back. Eventually the hose can be pulled off the line and the crimp comes off easily.

small pipe cutter. about five bucks at any hardware store--worked like a charm.

I was able to slide the hoses on after lubricating with gasoline. I figured that was the safest bet for lubricating a fuel line without damaging the rubber.

Every dremel tool cut off disc I have ever used sparks while cutting metal.

Make it an easy(safe) task by picking up a "mini" tubing/pipe cutter like the one in the link below. It will fit in tight places and give you a nice clean cut without shards of metal/grit going in you fuel lines. This is just like the one LR includes in there fuel line kits.

The Rennbay fuel hose kit does not require cutting the hard lines.

Guys, i always lube anything related to fuel (from hoses to injector seals) with some ATF oil, you can just dip you're finger into the p/s reserv. and lube the hard line(s) and the inside of the hose.

Works every time, no issues removing or installing those rennbay lines.

Thanks for the input. I searched around for a hose cutter; but i couldn't find one on the base. I didn't feel like explaining what a hose cutter was in broken Hangul/English/Konglish, so i went at the crimp with a file. A couple hours later I was finally able to remove it with some pliers. Long story short, the Rennbay lines are installed and I mave much more peace of mind with my car. With a little lubrication those puppies slide right on. Well, not quite, a little elbow grease is still necessary.

Anyhow, thanks again for the advice. You guys are a big help.

Now on to the other 10,000 little things wrong with my car :-D

This is a good first fix. A road side carbeque is NOT what ya want.

So what's next? Escort cup suspension?
