Zoltan, I would recommend taking the whole fuel setup off the car when it can be drained of fuel and you can use a dremel cutoff tool on the metal bands. Don't do this on the car, you can't keep from set a spark to gasoline. Barring that and using the special removal tool, you can get one of those cheap spark plug pullers with a single pointed prong to work into the small metal loop that stick up. Wiggle it and then you can get longnose in there and then it will be loose enough to cut with nipper and not chance damaging the plastic underneath. Once the band is removed, you can slice up the rubber hose to help get it off. Jim On Feb 28, 2006, at 5:12 PM, Zoltan wrote: > I must change the fuel hose on the injector.
