or something similar. When I did this on my car, I should have burned off the hose with a torch, but didn't have a torch so I CAREFULLY worked at it with needle-nose pliers. You DO NOT want to nick any of the barb fittings, because then you'll have leaks.
When I replaced hose, I did the best I could to put it on, then used hose clamps.
I think the hose is 8mm hi-pressure. It may be 7mm, but I think it's 8. It's important to use hi-pressure fuel injection hose. I think Peter Florance can tell you where to find it (NAPA maybe?).
