Default Fuel line question

How do i get those damn fuel lines in the back to come off?! Autozone gave me a tool to use but it does not cut it. I know there has to be some trick to it im just not seeing. Changing injectors and thats the only thing now stopping me. Thanks for any help.

Not sure exactly which ones you have, but you'll need a 3/8" and 5/16" disconnect tools.
Just put them around the metal fuel tubes comming off the fuel rail and push up against the fuel line. Sometimes it takes a bit of giggling but they'll come off.

Make sure you are pushing the tool all the way in. You should hear it click when it's fully seated. Then give it a good yank and it will pop off.

I had the same problem try pushing both ends together and shoving the tool in as far as you can and then pull them apart it took me about 20 tries and i couldn't get it with the plastic tool, i needed the metal one with a handle... just hang in there these cars are not exactly..straight forward to work on... and of course lots of back and forth giggling like said above!
