Chaning Valley cover gaskets

[hN!]

I'm keen to change my valley gaskets But there is one thing that i cant work out is how do you get the fuel lines off? I need to d/c these so i can lift the manifold off Is there a special tool or way? Thanks

[Simonn]

yes there is a special tool you need to use, I forget what there called but just go into a autoshop and say you need the tool for getting off fuel lines im sure they will know what your talking about.

Please lets us know how you go and what the tool is called... im looking at doing mine and had the same thoughts when it come to the fuel lines, also if you could post any issues or 'lessons learned' etc that would be much appreciated.

cheers

5/15th fuel line removal tool is what you'll need for the V6s and the gennas use 3/8th. Should cost around $10-$15

Got a hold of a mate getting trade price for the tool. I have a cake of oil both sides So i bet its sucking in air.

When I changed my valley gaskets I followed the Gregory manual's suggestion of just cutting a pen lid and using that to disconnect the lines, worked beautiful and only cost me one pen lid an 2 minutes.

i got the tool as it helps with many types of those fittings.

5/16th for our lines.

with the gaskets, what ones did you use, also did you do the correct torque sequence?

Correct torque sequence? I found the tool today finally And my god makes it so easy to get them off They were just some random brand. Ive d/c fuel, dropped water Ill finish it off tomorrow Oh and the gaskets i got were called "pro torque" Not ACL These look good with a nice thick rubber
