If a good pair of vice grips don't work you can always cut it with a grinder if you like playing around fuel lines with sparks and such. Or if you can disconnect the other side of the fuel line you could use one of these tools http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/sto...CD-_-707-_-CONF

 

Thats a possibility also, grind it down to a smaller size.

 

if the nut is stripped out, then you may need to cut off the old one and reinstall a new one with a flange tool. You can get replacements from a hardware store with a plumbing department and you can probly rent the flange tool.

 

Yeah sorry guys, thats the bolt ithat i was trying to get loose by using the wrench and i thought it was coming off but then i decided to jack up the car to get more of a view and i noticed that i stripped the bolt and i just gave up on it so the vice grips would be best solution or just replacing the whole line

 

1. It's not a bolt. It is a NUT.

2. You can't just replace the nut, you have to cut the line, put a new nut on, then flare the line. You need tools the average home mechanic doesn't have for this. You may have better luck getting it done by a mechanic, or if you can do it, replace the line yourself, or rent the tools and do it.

3. You do not NEED line wrenches, I don't have any, but I sure as hell wish I did. Go buy a set, tools aren't expensive.

4. Please, you've been asked in this thread, and in others you have made, to try to post with some punctuation and spacing so folks can read and understand what's going on. As I told you before, many members won't even read the thread once, or ever reply to it, even if you fix one of your other posts, the folks that skipped it the first time, won't look again. What's bad about this? The folks that are like that here are the most knowledgeable, and they'll have the answers you want to read the most.

Or don't want to read, depending.

Let us know how it goes.

 

jack up the tib, remove drivers side tire and inner fender well, use vise grips and loads of penetrating spray like pb-blaster. I shot some on, waited 15 minutes, and repeated a couple times and it makes it a lot easier, you don't want to brake that nut with the vise grips!

 

question is...

did you unplug your pump so you don't have suction?

 

^^ I've never done that. There's no need. They say to relieve pressure... Well, pressure is relieved when you bust open the fuel system. Catch the drops in a rag and you're done. No need to disconnect the fuel pump.


This is great advice! Before I start any project, I hit the undercarriage wash, then I spray down the target bolts with penetrating oil and smoke a cigarette or something before I start working. PB blaster recommends metal on metal to vibrate the penetrating oil into the surface more. Smack the thing with a wrench.

 

Yeah, i did unplugg the fuel pump i was following the steps on the Tiburon Workbook but still could not get the nut loose. I'll just probabley take it to a shop, cause if keep on messing with it, ill end up screwing something else up and end without a car for a few days thanks guys for all the info

 

Do NOT listen to DTN. Yes, you CAN do it without unplugging the pum and relieving the pressure the way even the HYUNDAI MANUAL tells you to...

But, if you do not, you run the risk of spilling quite a bit of fuel (amazing how much surface area a cup or 2 of gas can cover eh?) or spraying it all over the engine bay. If you do it right, you'll only spill a tiny bit of gas.

SAFETY first.
