need help ASAP, return lines

[Optikalillushun]

on the injector by the filter head, very first on the left hand side...i cant get the nut to loosen off the injector. all the others were easy and this is being a PITA. i can see the line spinning so i stoped as i dont want to break it off. also attatched to it looks ot be some kind of spacer that moves with the line nut. there is also a plastic cover on the very bottom. the injector also looks to be longer then the rest.

how can i get the line off? i soaked it w/ PB blaster and it still doesnt budge

The 'spacer' you see is the timing adapter. You'll need to use two wrenches (5/8") to loosen the line. The first wrench turns the line 'nut' the second holds the hex part of the adapter. If you don't use two wrenches you'll be trying to spin the adapter on the injector but the line nut isn't loose so it won't spin other than if you twist the line.

whew, good to know! it is also very rusty so i gave it another shot of PB.

where is the second 'nut'? under the little sleeve? it moves but not enough for me to see what is under it.

Kind of a lousy pic but you'll get the idea.

if it's stock, you won't find it there. the timing adapter is a 7.3 item. if you do want to put one there, you will need to get a matched set of lines.

i got it, thanx!

mine had a sleeve that was hiding the second "nut". what does the timing adaptor do?
