I finally was able to muster up the gorilla strength to break my fuel filter's banjo bolts free, but as soon as I put it all back together with the new filter and tried to start it up, the shower of gas showed me that I had kinked the fuel line just forward of the outflow side of the filter, about an inch away from the banjo bolt. There is a little split in the line now right there, and it leaks quite nicely, thank you.
I've never had to install a banjo bolt before, or even splice into a high pressure fuel line. It looks like I'm going to have to do both. How do I deal with the banjo bolt? Should I get a new one and install it, and if so how do I do it? Or should I grab one out of the junkyard with the fuel line attached and splice the fuel line a little bit forward of the banjo bolt? And if that's the best way, how do I splice this kind of fuel line?
