[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 542206, member: 54263"] Gavin, it is a combination of experience and the fitting itself. I have literally installed more than a 1000 over the 21 years we owned our shop. However, every now and then you get a Ford set-up that simply will not come apart with out very serious work. It got to the pint where I bought a tool from Snap-On that made the lines. I'd simply cut the fitting out. Put the tool on the line I cut. It would force a ridge in the line as well as press the fitting onto the line. Then install the new filter. Most are pretty easy. Some are a real *&*&^$^%$(*$#@^. [/QUOTE]
