Brief Description:  Work on the aft fuel lines and fittings

I thought about replacing the F-1259H Fuel Return Line Aft because the bend from left to right was a little over 90 degrees. I quickly realized that this is would be very difficult because the pushrod assemblies have to be removed. Decided to leave the fuel line alone but made some small "S" bends on the left side of the fuel return line. Repaced the rubber hoses underneath the clamps holding the F-1259H and F-1259F fuel lines together. Disconnected the fuel line fittings aft of the center section bulkhead, applied Loctite 567 on the threads and re-installed. It was challenging (and time-consuming) to loosen and tighten the fittings because of the limited space. I used a crowfoot wrench adapter which worked much better than the other wrenches. Applied torque seal on the fittings.
