fuel/EVAP line club - a little advice please
I hung out without HHR until my neighbor's lift was available. I -COULD HAVE- cribbed up the jack so that my HF 12-ton stands would get it off the concrete driveway to the tune of nearly 24" , but I'm REALLY glad I waited for the lift.
Even six feet up the job was no picnic. The full length steel fuel -and- EVAP lines are best in my opinion, but would have proved positively horrible to do -on my back- .
In retrospect, I don't know it would have even been possible without spending double-and-a-half as much time. Life's too short, and I'm physically incapable at this point.
The plastic line retainers shouldn't be expected to be re-used without additional help. I used several wraps of stainless steel safety wire on each one (around the -plastic-, and pulled up tight), and some extra-heavy zippy-tyes here and there to pull the lines tight to each other.
Dropping the driver's side emergency brake cable away from the underside was an absolute necessity, and dismantling the resonator/catalytic converter connection, and removing the rest of the tail-pipe and muffler isolators allowed the exhaust to drop onto the rear axle beam, providing additional needed clearance.
NOT a good time, probably equates to six-plus hours -on a lift- anyhow.
