I bought a kit! but im having trouble taking the plastic hose off from the metal tubing, I have the urge to use a heat gun on it but then again my brain is telling me my face is gunna be blown away....

I might just play it safe and look up how to disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail in the bonnet and remove the hose while it is off the car but I have a big feeling it will be a PITA
