The fuel line on my 91 Chevy silverado has a hole in it and I need to pull it out from behind the motor to repair it. the problem I am having is that since it is a metal line and there is little room behind the motor I can't get the line out far enuff to get to the hole. I have disconnected the line from the injectors and brackets but the shape of the line prevents it from coming out.

if you are going to not put eh line back in you can always cut it but this stuff isn't fun to work on so the best way is to just keep messing with it to get it out we have no tricks for this.
