Here is how it is supposed to work:



There is a set of plastic tools available from AutoZone for about $10 that is adequate for these fuel lines.

If the PO replaced the couplers or otherwise damaged them, all bets are off.

Note that depending on which tool set you buy, some work better than others. I just used the cheap plastic ones that look like little funnels on my 95 and it took quite a bit of work to get the larger of the two couplings off. I had to use a pair of slip joint pliers behind the "lip of the funnel" part of the tool to gain leverage. Do yourself a favor and spray some penetrating fluid in to where the couplings meet a couple hours ahead of time. Crud and corrosion kind of build up in where the couplings join and you really have to work them sometimes to get them loose. Just remember to relieve the fuel pressure B4 doing so you don't get sprayed with gas!!

Good Luck
