Been awhile, checking back. I'm going to jump into this project tonight now that I got the parts I needed:

IMRC linkage grommets (2)
Fuel Rail to Mani seal (6)...(will I need these if I don't remove the fuel rails???)

I don't know if it's the same, but I figure it probably is since you are referring to the fuel line disconnect tool (J tool), I have always been able to use a small screw driver and press in the tabs on the fuel lines and been able to remove them without the tool. Thats how it is on my grand prix at least.

I'm not doing the full out rebuild that is given in the write up I got from here, just replacing UIM/LIM gaskets and cleaning them as best I can. Time is of importance here, and she just needs the car back ASAP!
