Motor swap is going well, but I've hit 2 snags.

Manifold to exhaust bolts are very rusted, I sprayed them with oil yesterday and they will spin, but I see little brackets that were rotating as well which crumbled to nothing in short order. How can I pull these bolts out? Do I just keep turning?

And the other, the fuel line connected to the fuel rail needs a special tool for removal. What is this tool called or is there a way to pull it off without the tool?

Thanks

 

My manifold to exh pipe bolts did the same. Since I was replacing mine with headers anyway, I cut the pipe, dropped and manifolds and sawzalled the bolts.

As for the fuel line, you need a disconnect tool which you can get from any auto parts store.

You can get either type like these. I have the second one and have used the 3/8" piece many times to take my trans lines apart

 

Thanks weed! Hopefully I'll have my truck back on the road soon, it's just depressing scraping my head on the roof of a little toyota while my trucks down haha

 

No prob, let us know how it goes.
