Default LS6 Install Help Needed

Well, I've already broken the Oil Sending unit and some friggin' solenoid vacuum fitting. I cannot get the fuel line separated from the fuel rail. Any advice as to how to remove the fuel line from the rail? Also, did I screw the fuel lines by bending & twisting the fuel rail to set it off to the side? The frustration level continues to grow, and I'm not even drinking any beer during this. The help is always appreciated. Thanks for the opportunity to vent as well...

Mark

You need a fuel line quick disconnect tool. Napa or any similar store will have it. The lines should be ok as long as you didn't kink them.

Why are you disconnecting the fuel line to do an LS6 intake swap?
