Disconnecting fuel lines

[Jeanius]

Is the only way to do this using the fuel line disconnector tool rec in the repair manual?

If you mean the connections at the fuel rails at the drivers side of the intake manifold yes, you need the tool as show in the pic above.

On my 94 there were 4 little springs that pushed out on retainers that held it in there. I think I could have gotten it off by messing around with some small flat head screwdrivers but instead of wasting the time I just picked up one at Advance Auto for like $3 and now I have it every time I need it for the rest of my life.

I picked up a kit at kragen for 12, has 6 different sizes. I was doing the Intake Manifold leak repair, PITA! Thanks for the input!

You don't need to disconnect the fuel lines. Lift the rails off, open the plastic ring that holds the fuel lines to the cover for the throttle body quadrent, and flip the rails back on the windshield, with the lines intact.... no mess, no chance of damaging the connectors.

Fred's right.. But buy the tool anyway, It's cheap and it should be a standard tool in everyone's box. Any other way may damage the coupling.
