<div dir="ltr"><div>Michael,</div><div><br></div><div>I agree with Bob on his comment. I just completed this on my car and the correct and easy way is to undo both banjo bolts. Leave everything else in place. This gives you great accessibility to the hose you need to replace. Be sure to keep control of the banjo bolt washers and as Bob mentioned, the mesh screen/spring. </div><div><br></div><div>Another easy thing to do is loosen the bolts on the top of the float chambers. This will allow some movement of the tops and makes it easier to align the banjo bolt threads during reassembly. Be sure to tighten the float bowl bolts after tightening the banjo bolts. Be sure to tighten the hose clamps when you are finished.</div><div><br></div><div>Just make sure everything is tightened up before you start the car.

<p>I haven't done this in a while, but IIRC it's easier to unbolt
both banjos. There should be spring-loaded 'thimble' screens in
both, and you'd have to twist the hose a lot to get just one
in/out.<br>
