Hello guys. I'm in the middle of my repair ( whole front suspension overhaul) so I can't post any picture, but I will after I finish the job.
Anyway, during this repair, I wanted to replace the fuel filter and when I got to it, I manage to break the outlet side of the fuel connector. I'm not sure just how I broke it as I was just turning the line and to see how I going to disconnect the line and this big piece of green plastic fell off. It could be from previous owner as ball joint is toast, as well as tie rod, shocks are dead, COP was is fairly bad shape ( I replace the whole COP and Plugs). Anyway, I'm not sure what the part is call, but it's the green plastic piece that you push to release the lock. The broken piece was big enough so I manage to put it back in, push the release plastic and manage to get the filter off, and replaced it with new one, but of course, the piece is still broken. Line itself is lock to the filter at the moment as I felt the click, but I'm afraid as soon as the pump kicks in, pressure might send the line off. I did tried to pull it, but it didn't come off, though.
Anyway, is there like a aftermarket repair kit or am I stuck with OEM? If OEM, what should I look for? I did look at the parts list from places like Tasca and other places, but could not find what I'm looking for.
Car is 2004 LS with V-8.
Well, back to the repair.
