AutoZone does carry these, couple of different sizes.
I think I found mine next to the nuts & bolts carousels
but who knows where they might have shuffled it,
or whether any of the counter boys will know what
you're talking about.

What exactly are you pulling the disconnect off for. All i do is take the bolts out that hold the rails on and take the plugs off the injectors and you can just move it to the side of the engine.

I am changing the manifold and T/B and painting both and the fuel rails. I really don't won't to paint the rail in the engine bay, I'm gonna go get the tool tommorrow. Everything is out and painted just need to get the rail out.
