    I have a T2000 and found the the injector return line (or feed line it goes in the rear of the block) leaking cant seem to get to the backside of the engine to break the line loss to replace is there some kind if access panel or something I am missing? Even a short stubby open end is to long.

    Will need to remove inner fender and become spaghetti man. Passenger side is easier to access IMO. I use an offset open end, the lifting bracket is usually the problem with access. The jam nut could have backed off a little but I would replace oring while you back there. No easy way sorry about. If you a big fellow it's well worth a hundred bucks to let someone else do the dirty work on that part.

    Replace the whole line. It's worth it. I wonder what happened to those days when I could get my hands everywhere at once on a girl, now they just call me sir.

    I usually just use a 1/4" ratchet with a adapter to a 3/8" drive and whatever size that nut is (7/8" IIRC, could be wrong, though). Usually those are soft return lines and I would strongly recommend replacing it since you're already going to have it out.

    I got on could not get enough leverage with such a small spot so I made an access panel got it off now cant find a place to make one its a rubber metal rubber 4000 psi hydraulic line. Why would it need to be that is the most fuel psi near 100?

    Most o Reilly auto parts do hydraulic hoses, as well as napa, tractor supply, and small hardware if you have one of those close for a Saturday or Sunday fix. 4000 psi is overkill, but it was a good heavy line considering where it is, I wouldn't cut much of a corner on the hose.

    We use strato-flex on all of ours. Have never had any problems and you can make the lines yourself.
