fuel plug removal??? anyone?

[campbellflage]

I recently purchased the frx kit from riffraff for my 2000 7.3, looks like a great kit, even better price. but i cant get it installed. I cant get the passenger side fuel plug out. I tried little sockets on it, and a 7mm wrench, but it seems like it would rather round then turn, any ideas before i strip it?

Oh yah been there done that I couldn't get my fingers down in there I took off the A/C pump and moved it out of the way for more room. Mine came out prety easy with a 12pt socket. The other hard part I ran into was putting the new fuel regulator on It is a little bigger than the stock one so I had to loosen up the fuel bowl (2 bolts that go through the HPOP resivoir) but I think your instructions tell you that part.

the little plug? that should be easy with the ac removed.

if you go to home depot or some place that has pluming parts and get a facet tool there square drive with the right size for the 1/8 pipe plug and 1/4 on the other side that so you can put a driver in it
