still having trouble replacing oil lines....searched alot too

ok i've replaced the 2 lines that are connected to the manifold but the other 2 injectors on the block is a bitch to take off.

the ones on the manifold were easy to take off and i used a 14mm wrench on it no prob there i take the 14 to the other injectors and it's too small and when i got a bigger one it doesn't grab does anyone else have this problem?

if you are removing them permanently just twist 'em off with vice grips, or see if you can get some needle-nose vise grips on it...if you're gonna reuse 'em, sand or grind the sides of the wrench till it's small enough to get in there...if you work on your car as much as I do, sooner or later you'll have a nice set of "homemade" skinny wrenches! LOL

if you've got a crow's foot set with a 14mm in it try that...if not, just grind down the wrench you used for the other two, you won't need to take too much off of it...it's the angle at which you gotta put the wrench on those things that messes with ya...
