Had to replace the fuel pump. While taking off the tank, accidentally broke the plastic nipple off of the Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve. Now I need to remove hard plastic fuel feed tube from valve. I've got the new valve and I just need to get the tubes off of the old pressure regulator valve. The tubes don't "give" because they are extremely firm (not pliable). Any suggestions?
