I HAVE AN '83DL WAGON AND THE MAIN FUEL PUMP RECENLY WENT OUT ON IT. I SAVED SOME MONEY AND THREW DOWN FOR A USED/REFURBISHED ONE THAT SHOULD DO THE TRICK. HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE OUT THE OLD ONE (WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED WITH 300,000 MILES ON IT), THE STUPID HEAD NUTS BY THE POWER SOURCE WIRES WONT CRACK. I HAVE TRIED EVERY THING AND CANT SEEM TO GET THE NUTS APART. AM I DOING THIS RIGHT? I AM TAKING TWO 17MM WRENCHS AND CROSS THREADING THEM TO LOOSEN THE NUT CLOSEST TO THE BODY OF THE PUMP (THIS IS THE SAME WAY I HAVE ALWAYS CRACK FUEL LINES). IT SEEMS THAT I AM LOOSENING IT BUT THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GET IT OFF COMPLETLY. I HAVE SEEN THREE DROPS OF GAS LEAK OUT, SO I THINK I AM ON THE RIGHT TRACK... BUT IT IS SIMPLY NOT WORKING. DO I NEED TO TAKE THE FUEL FILTER OFF TOO? I JUST WANT THIS TO WORK AND GET IT OUT OF MY HAIR. ALL HELP IN THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. ANYONE IS MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME TO PORTLAND OREGON AND DO IT FOR ME:)
