    Thanks alot for all your guys help. I'm feeling super defeated at the moment. I'm not able to loosen that other flare nut, that sensor is in the way. I'm using an adjustable wrench not sure if thats okay. not sure what to do at this point. Take the whole thing off? But then there is that other line ‍

    Don’t use a adjustable wrench. Do you want help or tools loaned? May be some Tacoma regional members near you to help. The San Diego crew has a lot of good members.

    A “gear wrench” with a flexible head could clear it- but they’re expensive. Maybe someone can loan you one? Some autoparts places like O’Reileys loans out tools. You could perhaps borrow one from a local member?

    Yes but again that damn sensor is in the way. And that harness near the firewall? Is also in the way.

    You could unplug and unscrew that fuel pressure sensor. Just make sure if it has a sealing washer or dope/tape on the threads you replace that when you screw it back in.

    Yeah I guess, I'll try to find some help. At this point I'm kind of stuck. If anyone knows anyone in san diego, I'm near poway ca. I got like $100 and I can buy food or beer haha. I really hate asking for help. It's really only this part I need help with and I got the rest.

    That second photo looks like your on it enough. Stick your ratchet on that and see if it will back off. You don't need to unscrew it all the way just enough so the other side will line up. Then put both sides of that pipe on hand tight and snug them with a wrench after they are hand tight.

    Sorry, I’m up in Riverside Co- but don’t feel bad about asking for help- we all do it and more power to you for doing this yourself! Put a cross post for this in that So Cal group.

    you defiantly need to get the right tool on there, if you round that nut off, you are significantly adding to your problems.
    Maybe add a link to this thread in your reginal section, and see if you can find a nice soul to help,,, I think there are still a few left in Southern California.
