Fuel Pump, Removal Options

[centar]

I have a 96 Celica ST 1.8L that won't start. Initially we didn't have any spark at the plug or with a tester hooked up at the distributor cap. Swapped out distributor and car started right up. Ran for about 5 or 6 minutes and shut down. Tried restarting but no luck. I didn't hear the fuel pump humming so I decided to replace the filter first and check the pump while I had the filter off. The bottom nut on the filter was the hardest thing I've ever removed. I removed the fuel filter and turned on the ignition, we rerouted the fuel flow so we wouldn't be making a mess or causing a fire. Didn't matter, no fuel would flow. So I remove the rear seat and access cover and I can't get the nut off the fuel line. It's as though it was superglued. I've got two wrenches a 14 and 19mm on the two nuts and trying to turn them in opposite directions but no luck. I don't want to damage the metal fuel lines but I don't know what to do. Any Suggestions?

try some type of spray, like wd40 to help loosen the nut.

PB blaster, and FLARE WRENCHES, you DONT wanna round off those fittings.

you got to make sure you use a line wrench it looks like a C, but that works on all kinds of lines with out damageing the lines...

Oh dude, haha, I couldn't get mine out no matter what I used...I think they epoxied or welded the fitting to the thread, LOL. I had to cut the metal hose in half with a hacksaw (VERY slowly), and then join it together with a piece of high grade rubber hose.
