Hey is there any way I can disconnect the fuel line without a tool? I can't get one for two more days, and I really want to get the engine out tonight! Is there any way???

2 days?? its a standard tool, any pep boys should have one.
maybe find a ring of stiff plastic and push it up in there will work, like a credit cars or something

Worst case just pull the intake manifold off but leave it tethered to the car with the fuel line, it'll bend out of the way so you can pull the motor out.
