Fuel line removal

[97ss497]

I need to remove my fuel lines from the fuel rail; is there a special tool available that I could purchase from from Napa or Auto zone or any other parts store?

Thanks

Got mine from Napa...the supply line is 3/8" and return is 5/16". They are 2 small plastic tabs. Cost around $6-$7. Good luck.

Just the possibility of saving you some work.... what are you doing that requires you to disconnect the fuel lines? Some maintenance can be done without disconnecting the lines from the rails, including injector changes, FPR replacement, intake manifold removal, etc.

And to clarify.... are you actually removing the hard lines from the rail, or are you simply disconnecting the flexible plastic lines where they connect to the hard lines.

Fred,

I have to replace the flexible plastic lines due to one of them being melted when I was having my subframe connectors welded on. I told the guy to stay clear of the fuel line on the drivers side but unfortunatly he was in a hurry. I guess I would have been smart to wrap that area of the lines with a thin piece of sheet metal first before I brought him the car. The whole fuel line assembly (3 lines) has to be replaced.

The little Lisle tool works well.

Lisle is a brand name for the tool, correct? Is that the white plastic piece on the fuel line?

Yes, the Lisle brand. Like the set below.

I got mine at Pep Boys, but I have seen them at a lot of auto parts stores.
