if i remember correctly it should be on the firewall on the passenger side. careful not to strip the fittings, if it's the first time i'd spray her down and use the special flare wrench to not round the nut. Previous owner screwed it up, and I couldn't turn the nut. I ended up gripping it super tight with a good pair of channel locks and used a pipe wedged against the tb to crack her open. Im sure more seasoned vets can chime in.

If the nut still dont turn, you might have to cut the line and then remove it, and put a compression fitting their when you put it back together.

IIRC you will need 19 and 17mm wrenches to break the line loose on top, and i believe its a 14mm on the inlet, but like it has been said, use a flare style if possible.
Also, break loose the inlet and outlet first, before undoing any mounts, while still using proper support via the wrench on the fuel filter so it doesnt rotate.
Take your time as boogering up the fittings will cost a lot more time in the end than setting it up securely.

It should just break loose. If you see your wrench moving slowly...you are rounding the nut off...stop! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Good tips above.
