I took the intake manifold off last night, but the fuel rail connection things.....where the fuel lines go into the fuel rails you know? What tool did you guys use to get these off? I can't seem to get them to slip off with a small flathead didn't know if there is a special way,tool, or i'm just being special about it haha.. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks

Like said above they make fuel line disconnect tools, I bought mine at autozone for like $4 or $5. May want to stick a rag where you disconnect the lines in case a little fuel comes out.

yeah and even with the tool its still a PITA. it takes some effort to get them off. you have to wedge the tool in there as far as you can and then pull it off. i struggled with it my first time.

I bought the nice metal disconnect tool and it ended up being too big. I had to get back and get the plastic set.

You also want to have a fire extinguisher very close by.

I've tired the pastic ones before with poor results, if you go to advance they sell a metal one that worked for me on the first try. The size is 3/8

Bleed it first..that'll help alot..lol

Those of us with the Walbro's don't have to bleed the lines, the Fuel Pump does that automatically when the Car shuts off. I thought it was pretty cool when I read that..

walbro isnt supposed to do that...where did you read that?

I've read it in a couple of places.. mine does it..
I can shut the car off, pop the hood, hit the Schrader Valve, and maybe a drip of Gas will come out.
If it's not supposed to do that, well I don't know what would cause it to do that, cause I have no leaks or any fuel pressure issues..

i used a tool the first time, then the second time i used a piece of sheet metal, bent it around the fuel line, pushed it in, and popped the line off. I was so proud i made my own tool
