There is a tool that Snap-on, Matco, etc. sell. It is a Ford disconnect tool, but will work just fine on the LS1s. If you don't have access to one of these, just use two small screwdrivers and push in on the white collar. Once you have it pushed in far enough, you should be able to pull the line out.

2 small screwdrivers works really good, just turn them sideways and push on both sides like you are using 2 small plates.

I found that an open end wrench works really well...just choose the size that fits over the connector and press in...works like a charm.

That would definitly be the easiest way. I too used the two screw driver method. It's a breeze, so don't waste money on any special tools (though the fuel line disconnect stuff isn't pricey and you'll probably use them for other stuff in the future).

screw drivers does it in a second so why even make a deal out of this? just push it in a lil bit then pull on the hose and it should come right out..
