Help with fuel line replacement

[boppa]

Pulled a bonehead move and pulled the fuel off the T where it splits to the cabs. I have been fighting for two hours to get it back on but to no avail, hands too big to get in there. Any suggestions to get it back on before I screw it up more than it already is?
                                           
                                                    TIA,

Try a pair of long needle nose pliers. I have a new hose waiting for me it just looks like a real project.

Long needle nose and spray the end that goes on the plastic "T" with carb cleaner! Makes it slide on easy and is gone quick with no effects later. did it 3 weeks ago. You may need a long screwdriver behind the "T" to push against also.

Yep LONG needle nose pliers and another set of helping hands on the other side with another set of long needle nose pliers or a long wide flat blade screw driver,,, or just pull the entire thing (what works out to be 3 sections of hose and 1 “T”) out from the sides re-assemble it and then you only have to deal with attaching the ends back to the fuel rails in the carb banks and then with the long needle nose pliers fish it through the frame back too original location waiting for the tank to be reinstalled. I am gonna take a HUGE assumption and say your air box is still in place? Since with it out of the way anyone’s hands will fit in there to get it all back together. I would not personally pull the air box to do this, I can tell you from personal (very recently) experience what your trying to accomplish can be  a HUGE very frustrating pain but be patient and go slow with LOTS of available light and you will get it shortly.

Good luck.

HUM. I though I replied to this post earlier.   Oh well, Wizard pretty much said what and how to do it.

Just curious. Was there a reason for what you did or was it simply an accidental disconnect?
