    How do you get the fuel lines apart I have the sissor type and round type but i can't get the lines to budge. I am pulling the engine this week end for a new oil pump and oil screen change. Help

    You don't have to disconnect the fuel lines unless you really want to. I just unbolted my fuel rail and moved it over out of the way. It hangs on the driver's side diagonal brace quite well.

    Yup, just move them out of the way...fuel lines move around quite easily.

    The problem is the tool you are using more than likley. Get the plastic A/C /Fuel disconnect fittings.

    I don't recommend the cheap plastic ones. I bought a set from Harbor Freight and they wouldn't work on the fuel rail that I got from ebay. I had to borrow my dad's blue point set. They were still plastic, but they worked on the first try. They seemed a little longer than that cheap ones. They were made of a stronger plastic too.

    I must have just got a bad set then. I tried for about 15 minutes to get them off with the harbor freight ones. I broke out the blue point set and they came right off.
