Default radix fuel lines

ok, so i have the disconnect tool and everything. what size are the fittings? 1/4 or 3/8 ?

ive tried both and i cannot get these damn lines off. im pushin the tool into the orifice until it kinda snaps and then im trying to pull the line off.

make sure the tool is seated all the way. All your doing is making it so the plastic sleeve on the tool is between the hard line and the anti-backout tabs(whatever they're called). Pull straight back gently.

The gently thing is right -- the lines should come off with virtually no effort. Make sure you have the right size tool on there and it should be easy (I always forget which size it is so am no help there).

The plastic "tool" is junk (to put it lightly). Make sure that the "tool" is in all the way and then give it a little turn one way or another. It always hangs up on me too. You will know when it releases. Don't force it!
