Make sure its empty!! Its a pain in the A$$ pullin the crossover line if ya got a ton of fuel in there. And since its off get the braided crossover line too. Just my 0.02 cents.

Pinch off one side of the crossover line so fuel only comes out of one side until u get it off. You can put your finger over the other side so you dont get fuel everywhere.

It's a cake job. Get some rubber line caps. Picnch off one side of the crossover. When you pull the other side off, slip a rubber cap on the stem. You should only get a little spillage if you do it quick.
