I started swapping the fuel pump in my Talon. Finally got all but one of the nuts off the sending unit. Last one is going to have to be snapped off. Problem is I can't get the hose disconnected from the top or the underside connection. There so rusted I'm pretty sure it'll snap the tube off the sending unit trying to get it off, I've been soaking everything in PB Blaster on and off for 2 weeks. I've read the VFAQ and I'm using flare wrenches.
As a backup plan I started looking for a sending unit (Napa, Advance, Autozone). Apparently you can only get it through a dealer, can't wait to see how much they want for it!!! So, does anybody got any suggestions or an available sending unit they want to sell (1G AWD) I now have to go out and find the tools I threw around the garage, yard etc.

Yeah it did thanks! Hopefully I can return the favor some day!
It was alot easier for me to wrench on those rusty fitting knowing I had a backup unit to throw in if I broke it. The car is my daily driver and I can't have it down for a long period of time. FYI...I had to put that hose atttached to the sending unit in a vice to get the flare nut to break loose.
