Hi all,
As per the thread title.... How do you remove the one way fuel hoses on a VS.
I am changing engines and am stuck with these hoses that are difficult to remove.

Any advice how to get them off?
They turn easily enough and move in and out several centimeters but maybe I need a special tool or can make one?

A biro top..... from a 'bic' type pen?
It seems we don't have a cake decorating set so that idea is gone.

Seeings this donor car is going to the recycle centre after the engine and box is out, I might just cut the metal hoses for now.

I will check out Supercheap too thanks Pete, as I will need something so I don't damage the pipes on MY car when fitting the engine back in.
