    Hey Richard, I apprenticed twice in my life. First was in the Bell System, second was to become a master electrician... I remember all too well how the "old timers" would come off as drill seargeants.
    Their favorite was: "you kids today, who the hell is going to take over when us old guys are gone?" I learned something from my DS's, I can spot if baby sitting is required in 30 seconds. I don't know who broke you in to your business but you've made them proud. YOU GOT THIS AND DON'T EVER LET ANY ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENT!

    Great video. My fuel filter has three of the connectors from 0:29 to 0:45 in the video. I got one off, and the others would not come off. I put it back on and drove to a oil change place, and THREE of them worked on it for over 20 minutes before they got it off. They they worked for another 15 minutes getting it back together because one of the lines blew off when I repressurized the system. It was marvelous to watch such teamwork. I am very glad I gave up and let bigger guys with more leverage (standing in oil change pit instead of lying on back under car on ramps) work on it. I do not think I would have succeeded.

    hey there again☺️
    you were so awesome to answer my question, i thought i might take a chance and ask another lol...the reason i asked about the horseshoe retainer is because i recently changed the fuel pump in my vehicle-
    but after the install, i had something strange happen..
    so the question is as follows, and if you can help i’d be so grateful!
    -------
    i recently had my fuel pump start to go out on me (sputtering under load), so i put a new one in... before that my oil and temp gauges read normal-
    now, the temp and oil gauges go high 2/3 up the gauge- and it was right after putting the new fuel pump that i noticed this.
    also, nothing appears to be wrong in the engine-
    no excessive heat and it seems to run fine-
    why would replacing the fuel pump make my other gauges read weird?
    also- it’s an in-tank electric fuel pump on a
    regular-carbureted 1987
    ford e350/460. 7.5L
    4-barrel
    any advice/info?
    oil sender and temp sender are relatively new..
    no leaks!
    ok THANKS!!!😄

    MAN, THANK YOU! the tip about using a zip tie Tightly around the pinch type connector REALLY saved my a$$. I was about 2min from bailing out of this ford fuel pump project and taking it to somebody.....after spending too many friggen hours and couldn't even get the evap unit off!.
    tempted to go to dearborn and punch out a ford engineer who 'designed' these POS fuel connectors.
    once I got the zip tie as tight as possible on the button it let me use both hands to fight the connector off. luckily no limit on curse words on this one.....definitely a patience tester (but it saved me hundreds in labor charges)

      @kevinsdiytips2237 2 месяца назад

      Sorry I don't remember from 7 years ago even which vehicle I was working on. Seems like you want to put the zip tie around the squeezable part of the clip and then crank it down as tight as possible. THEN, knowing that it should slide off, you can fight with spraying, spinning and pulling on the line. Good luck

    On my Hyundai, the connector is a single push style clip like you show at 0:49 of the video, but on the opposite side is a blue plastic clip that I think is a lock. Are you familiar with that style? I think you just slide the locking clip down, and then push the tab to release it.
