Is there an easy way to remove this stupid thing?
The front banjo bolt is almost impossible to get at with the t-case x-member and torsion bars (ya, IFS, I know, but its my dad's truck) in the way. Its also quite seized on there due to rust. I've been soaking it in liquid wrench, but that doesn't seem to be helping.
Also, does anyone know exactly what size the banjo bolts are? I think they're supposed to be 14mm, but all of my 14mm wrenches fit very loosely on the bolt and start to strip it because its seized so much. 13mm is too small, as is 1/2" 9/16 is too big. It seems like a 13.5mm or 17/32" would fit nice and tight, but I don't know if they make such a thing. (I've noticed the banjo bols for the brake lines are the same way -- they're just a tiny bit smaller than a regular 12mm bolt, but I've never had one seized badly enough to cause a problem).
i think I should be okay once I get the fuel lines disconnected, but so far I'm not having any luck with the front one.
Is this even worth doing myself? Or should i just take it to a mechanic and let them hastle with it?
