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.
-
Oops I misread the part of it being the actual line.

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.

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

Ok I got one made up o'reilly an hour away made them had to pass three of their stores getting to it thanks for the info.
Would like to know more about the strato flex I see it aviation hose but cant seem to find places to buy.
