Fuel Supply line fitting difficult to remove
I'm trying to change my fuel pressure regulator for a 1999 jeep grand
cherokee. I've removed 2 of the fittings; however the fitting on the fuel supply line has a plastic retainer. I've tried to remove it by looking at the instructions in the quick connect chart on the service manual; however I'm unable to get that sucker off. Am I suppose to use some special tool? |

"depends" There are several flavors out there. Got a picture you could post to alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4 ? Some require squeezy type disconnects. Looks like a power cord choke coil. AutoZone and some places have them for loan. Some use a clip spring and you can release them with a bit of heavy plastic or tin. You just roll the plastic and cut it so it fits around the metal pipe and slide it up into the quick connect to move a spring out of the way.

Fuel Supply line fitting difficult to remove
There are a half dozen or so types of quick connects used on the WJ and all
but one (I think) do not require the use of tools other than nimble fingers. Occasionally when lacking the nimbleness you can substitute a screwdriver or pliers. My I ask why you want to replace the regulator? "jnm007a" > wrote in message oups.com... > I'm trying to change my fuel pressure regulator for a 1999 jeep grand > cherokee.

Can you cut off these fittling and use some hose or a different connection type that is not so damn hard to get apart or put together?

Your talking high pressure fuel lines and it's best to stick with the factory connectors and use the proper tools to get them apart. The job savings most often pays for the tools. -- DougW |
