3/8" Fuel Disconnect Tool I am trying to remove the stock fuel rails and I can not figure out how to remove the fuel line from the fuel rails. I have heard that there is a '3/8" Fuel Disconnect Tool' to do this. Is this true and if so, where can I buy one? TIA.
Re: 3/8" Fuel Disconnect Tool You can buy a kit at Autozone or AADvanced. Cost less than 5 bucks I think. I think the grey one is the right size. Slip it over the fuel line on the fuel rail side. Insert the tool into the connecter and push the tool into the connecter while pushing the connecter into the tool with the other hand. Pull them apart with the tool still insterted. VWAAALA they come apart. There is a spring clip in there that needs to be disengaged.
