First off, thanks to those who wrote on the help with the A/C removal job.
My plan is to have a shop remove the Freon tomorrow, just in case there is
still some in there.
New problem though.  Bought a new fuel filter the other day, figured that
since I have the Audi in the garage right now, might as well change it.  I
cannot, at all, seem to get the line from the pump loose from the filter.  I would
just leave it for another day when I have fresh ideas, but I seem to have
punctured the filter now.  I was using a big wrench to hold it in place as I
cranked on the pump line bolt, it gave a little then spat out this tiny stream of
gas.
I have tried Liquid Wrench a couple of times on it and does not work.  Am I
doing this wrong or is there a trick that is not in the Bentley's?  Or,
hopefully not, do I just have to keep trying to crank on the friggin bolt?
Any info appreciated and many thanks in advance.

Dan
