Fuel Supply line fitting difficult to remove

"depends" There are several flavors out there.

Got a picture you could post to alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4 ?

Some require squeezy type disconnects. Looks like a power cord choke coil. AutoZone and some places have them for loan.

Some use a clip spring and you can release them with a bit of heavy plastic or tin. You just roll the plastic and cut it so it fits around the metal pipe and slide it up into the quick connect to move a spring out of the way.

There are a half dozen or so types of quick connects used on the WJ and all but one (I think) do not require the use of tools other than nimble fingers. Occasionally when lacking the nimbleness you can substitute a screwdriver or pliers.

My I ask why you want to replace the regulator?

Can you cut off these fittling and use some hose or a different connection type that is not so damn hard to get apart or put together?

Generaly, no.

Your talking high pressure fuel lines and it's best to stick with the factory connectors and use the proper tools to get them apart. The job savings most often pays for the tools.
