Fuel line removal tool? I read on LS1howto about using "the handy fuel line disconnect tool" to remove the fuel line from the fuel rail. Anybody have a better description for this tool so I can pick one up at a parts store?

I bought a set of 6 (GM, Ford, & Mopar) at Sears. Great tool....no way you'll disconnect the fuel line without one.
I made one out of thin-wall copper tubing for my hydraulic clutch disconnect. I screwed around for over an hour trying to disconnect the fitting with a screwdriver (following a well-known How-To book's directions), and never could get the clutch fitting disconnected. I just cut a slot in the copper tubing, bent a lip all the way around the tube, and it worked like magic.
There are just some specialty tools you can't do without........

the plastic ones work best. I bought a kit at autozone that had several sizes. They took it back when I was done.
Before that I used what look like metal wrench type tool. Completely worthless. Pissed away over an hour and it still didnt work. THe plastic ones fit right in.
