So, the line for the rear cylinder on the pass side is leaking at the pump. What is the best way(With what tools) to tighten it without disturbing ANYTHING else? The S-Wrench I have hits the manifold before I can turn it. When I changed the pump, I put the lines on before installing it, and apparently didn't tighten that one quite enough. Help?

Take a standard size 5/8 line wrench and cut it till it's about 1.5" - 2" long. I drilled a hole in mine and threaded some 550 cord thru the hole so I could pull it up without prying on anything.

That's #7 cylinder, 1-3-5-7 on pass side, 2-4-6-8 on drivers side.

Wow.. Thats a tuuf line to reach without the special tool. Ebay sells them from time to time but they are not cheap thats for sure. There is one in this tool kit thats nice to have. All the tools in this kit are made specially for the idi. I have this kit but not that special tool for the hard lines at the pump. Its in the tool kit and located at the bottom left in one of the pics.

Here is the wrench you need to fix this. Its in the top tray at the bottom left just by the seat reamer tool thats shiny looking. I have seen them listed for $140.00 on ebay so if you buy this kit all the tools you see will be nice to use on any idi engine for pressing on or off pulleys and gears and seals. I have this same kit.
