3/8" & 5/16" fuel line disconnect tool



You should be able to pick one up from AZ, Kragen, or Napa.

Make sure you buy the GM tool that can do both sizes. Feed is 3/8", return is 5/16".

Just for a visual, I believe he's talking about the one that looks like this (instead of the individuals that SS linked, that also work well).






Not trying to correct you or anything RamAir, just wanting to provide a pic to help the OP out so he knows what to look for.

There are various types and styles of a removal tool. You have already seen a few in this thread. There are also round plastic ones. As long as you get 3/8 and 5/16 quick disconnect tools you will be good.

you can get them at AZ, like has been stated. If you have some flexy scrap aluminum (be creative), you can also make your own.

I did

I've always used the next to the smallest size on one of these for both feed and return:


Works great.

That OEM metal tool is a POS. I spent about an hour one night trying to get my lines off. I finally gave up and ordered that white plastic Lisle set from Summit and got both lines off in 3 minutes.

i like the metal one. It gives you something to grab onto when you push it in the line. very easy.

I have the metal tool that is pictured. I have to say some cars the lines come right off, others are a nightmare and I end up fighting with them for several minutes. I think it has to do more with if the line has ever been off or not.

I will admit its construction is cheap also, but then again I think I paid $4 maybe?

Yeah I bought a set a while ago and lost the ones I need. I have like a 1" one and a 3/4". Doesn't help me one bit.. The plastic removal tools work great, just frustrating sometimes. I have to use the next size smaller for each line for some reason
