Reposting my previous question and comments in this forum, as I made the rookie move of posting a question in a forum where I couldn't reply to the post I made.
Original post:
How are y'all able to take off the fuel hose that runs between the hard line and the fuel pump?? I'm trying to drop the tank so I can treat the rust in it, and I've dropped it halfway and have disconnected everything except that hose. If I go through the high floor side panel I can't get enough leverage on the nut, if I go from the side of the car I can't see at all what I'm doing, or get enough leverage on the nut. Do I need somebody with real long skinny arms to go through the high floor side panel? Or do I just need somebody with a few more brain cells than me who has worked on a car before? Am I being foolish for committing to undo the side of the hose that connects to the hard line, rather than disconnecting it on the fuel pump side -- I've been hesitant to not follow the service manual but I'm open to new things.
Guidance would be appreciated before my father-in-law comes over and makes fun of me. Plus if I'm unable to do this, the running Saab 900 I forwent in favor of the Conquest will continue to haunt me in my dreams.
I am so sorry that this question is so dumb, but I have hit such a wall with this.
