If your fuel line are rusted will be pain in rear.i end up after while carrying mine to guy i know.even he had pain in the *** getting them apart.you might want to spray with some wd40 and let it set.

Definitely use a good penetrating oil for rusted area. Also use a line wrench for the fittings as friend of mine rounded it badly. Also work on a well ventilated area.
