I never got that far. It was the factory crimped clamp that was the issue. I was trying to cut/saw/release this clamp holding the fuel hose to the pump outlet so that I could then cut/remove the hose. It was the tussle with the clamp that caused the breakage.

This is where a single edge razor blade comes in handy. I NEVER pull, pry or wiggle the hose(s) loose (both fuel or coolant) just because of that very reason. |
