Default fuel line problem

just changed my fuel rail on my 95 ta ,I took the fuel lines off using a small screw driver to get the locks off , now that I put them back on one of the lines leaks if I move the line at all ,could it be the seals or the clips and where can I get them? thanks

If you used anything but a fuel line removal tool, chances are good you scratched the sealing surface of the lines. I'd take it back off and have a look.

Agreed. Make sure the little tabs of the locks are not bent.
You can get a plastic fuel line disconnect for cheap at Autozone.

You don't ever want to use anything but the correct tool. The connector is easily ruined (as looks like has happened).

Yea get it off with the proper Tool and check it out.

I hate the ones at Autozone.. I kept losing them, they were too small. O'Rielly's sells one that is a pretty decent size, I keep it in the glove box. I've have it for a few months and that's about the longest time I've hung on to one of them Tools..lol
