    ^I wasn't there for the whole thing, when I got there the line was already installed and crossthreaded. My guess would be start @ the engine bay end.

      I did the whole line in my LX (on Christmas Eve a few years ago - COLD). It would really help to have it on a lift. I had it on four jack stands at maximum height and it was still very difficult. I believe I did start at the engine bay end, but still wound up having to bend it more than I liked to get it routed correctly at the rear.

        Yea, I just ran into this problem. Skipped around to installing my Fuel filler neck and the line with the banjo fittings that connects that long line to the actual fuel tank.

        Totally agree with that above statement. I'm seriously considering just towing it to a friends shop so I can do the rest of this on a lift. I figured I could do it in my driveway but when it came down to it, it seems like its gonna be really difficult without that lift. Any suggestions as to how you went about doing it?? Even though you bent it more than you would've liked???

            I believe I started at the engine bay end, got it routed along the firewall to the filter leaving the rest of line lying on the ground. I don't remember what was in the way at the rear, but it would have liked to have been installed by sliding the line straight back, but you can't do that with it already installed up front (unless maybe on a lift). I think I had to put a big bow in it to get room to route the very rear end of the line, then bend it back to put it in the clamps. May also have been an issue with its position in the clamp relative to the other lines.

            It is a bad memory, so I deleted it!

              Yea, it seems like it's going to be a real PITA. I think I might just have to tow this thing to a lift to get it done the right way. The line seems so much bigger when you have it side by side with the car

              Thanks for the help!!
