Hi Everyone,
I have an '87 V6, stock engine setup.
I was pulling off my fuel rail to work on my injectors, and I stripped the nut for the fuel supply line.
It's still on the car, I could probably get it off if I really need to, but before I make things worse, I'd like to get some opinions on what to do
My impression is that once I force the nut off, it'll be unusable.
Since the line is flared, I can't just replace the nut.
I feel like I'll need to replace the whole line, or at least the section where it goes from Metal to Rubber.
Or worst case, maybe replace all the way back to the fuel filter.
I haven't had that section apart, and I don't know if it would be difficult or easy.
Any recommendations?
If I buy parts, any recommendations on what to ask for in the forum mall?
Also, I have a 5/8 flare nut wrench, but my mechanic torqued it down far tighter than expected
Thanks!

:-O
Why did I think finding these parts would be the hard part?
Fierostore is just great.
Has anyone changed these themselves? The bottom fitting, where the metal changes to rubber, seems to be a reach, will that be difficult to un-do?
Thank you very much for the link.
Have a great day.
