Is there a neat trick to pulling out the fuel lines form the center tunnel? I have the hose off to the firewall (cut, with enough for me to get a good grab on it) and have the metal nipples exposed in the front.

So what is the trick for gettign them out? I am trying to save the rubber grommets for re-use with BigD9146gt's stainless center tunnel kit. Well, the forward one at least, I don't care about the aft donut grommets.

If you take out the inspection cover thats in the center tunnel under the dash you can push out the big grommet from there.

in the passenger compartment...remove center console, carpet, and floor board under the pedals.

You will see a small metal cover on the center tunnel, remove it.

You can now reach in with a large flat srew driver and push the front grommet into the front trunk area...

then pull it off the fuel lines once its loose from the firewall.

Then go in the engine compartment and pull on both lines...

I will second the previous suggestion, and add that I tied and taped a small dia cord to each line at the fuel tank end. When I pulled the lines out from the rear, re attached the cord to the new lines and pulled them through the same path from the front bulkhead. I had a helper to guide them along, and it went quickley.
Some silicone gel lube also helped immensly to reposition the front grommit. Kevin

i read it, and ask about this a while ago... never could find any... summit racing sells lots of SS hard lines, but none that are 7/16.....

Why must you use 7/16"?

You can get 50' coils of 3/8"OD X .335" ID Type 304 SS tubing at McMaster Carr (8989k93)
